In order to accommodate Prescott Valley’s explosive growth,Hooper reports that housing construction is booming alongside retail,commercial,and indus- trial development.“Right now,we have five,mas- ter-planned subdivisions that are at different stages of build out,”he says.“And the only thing that is slowing down the single familyhousing is that there is a bit of a national construction labor shortage issue.But we sawabout 470 newhousing starts,last year.We’re pro- jecting around 500 newsingle-familyhousing starts, this year.We have threemulti-familyunits,totaling about 550 units that will be opening.The permits were approved,this year,so,ideally,they’ll be phased in over the next two to five years.One of them is right in the middle of our central business district.” One company that has been building homes,com- mercial retail space and industrial centers in Prescott Valley for years is the Fain Signature Group.

Each day we pursue that vision my father had some 50 years ago as we continue to produce opportunity, shape a community and build a placewhere families can linger,creatememories and a bright future together.” “I also see a great need for hotels.We have lots of events in Prescott Valley,as well as a tourismscene that brings in visitors,”Hooper adds.“Our Prescott Valley Event Center,which is the home of theNorthernArizo- na Suns,the G-league basketball teamof the Phoenix Suns,is a big draw.We see an estimated 75,000 people per year that cycle through the Event Center,andmany of those come fromout of town and need places to stay.Andwhile there are hotels in town,theyare not able to provide enough rooms for all of the folks com- ing into the area. “All of that is to say that Prescott Valley is ripe and ready for new development.”
