Prescott

Since Prescott’s founding as the first Territorial Capital of Arizona and the establishment of nearby Fort Whipple, the government has been an important factor in Prescott’s economy. Headquarters of the Prescott

National Forest, Arizona Department of Transportation, Veterans Administration Medical Center of Prescott,

Yavapai County, the City of Prescott, and the Prescott Public Schools are all major employers.

Excluding government, tourism ranks as the highest income resource for the community. Prescott is a tourist attraction not only from other parts of the U.S., but for visitors from around the world who are attracted to the beautiful surroundings, wonderful climate, and year-round activities available. Full convention facilities for groups of all sizes are available. Sports camps and church-affiliated camps are also significant contributors to Prescott’s overall economy. Top employment opportunities also exist in the medical field, retail and tourism. With the development of the Prescott Airpark and Commerce Center, new opportunities are being created in manufacturing, distribution, and office operations. A live, work and play environment is envisioned for the approximately 8,000 acres surrounding the area. The construction and real estate industries are also major contributors to the economy in Prescott, with new quality homes being built in many excellent Prescott areas.Prescott Facts and Figures
