If you’re a regular reader of our quarterly community publications, you’ve probably already noticed a difference in both the layout and size. You’ll also notice more QR CODES. Why? These helpful little QR CODES are nifty because they allow you to jump to the internet on your phone to get ALL the information you are seeking. These QR CODES also let us pare down the size of our print publications so these community guides remain free to our residents. Also, printed magazines are heavy, making them costly to transport. Eventually, they are tossed away. This seems wasteful.
Join us in saving time, money, and most importantly, our precious resources, like water and fuel.
Scan your QR CODES and jump online with us for the latest events and community developments in Prescott Valley, Prescott and Chino Valley.
