Today, the U.S. Small Business Administration announced the conclusion and success of the Economic Injury Disaster Loan (EIDL) Advance program, which provided U.S. small businesses, non-profits and agricultural businesses a total of $20 billion in emergency funding. In order to assist the greatest number of small businesses, the EIDL Advance provided $1,000 per employee up to a maximum of $10,000. Recipients did not have to be approved for a loan to receive the Advance, and the Advance provided an interim but vital source of funds while applicants awaited a decision on their loan application.

Play Safe
What started as an internal campaign to encourage patrons to Play Safe at the newly smoke free Bucky’s & Yavapai Casinos has hit the pavement as a community wide initiative. With
members of our amazing community doing the right thing and playing safe while out enjoying free time they are doing their part to keep all of us safe. Those of you taking precautions at the Courthouse Square or Entertainment District and other area restaurants,
bars and social settings are thanked for doing their part and aren’t going unnoticed. Let’s all Play Safe so we can put COVID-19 behind us!

Vacation Rental Homes
Prescott Arts District Chalets, LLC
|
|
We own/manage two chalet-style vacation rental homes located just two blocks from Courthouse Square at 118 N. McCormick (the blue-roofed homes across from Rosa's). Our 1-bedroom Chalet sleeps 2-4; our 2-Bedroom Chalet sleeps 4-6. We rent both on Vrbo (listings 370657 and 367805), but also on Airbnb (2 BR listing 17250584). We're also on Facebook where we often promote the community or local businesses, in conjunction with our rentals. We frequently visit Prescott from Wisconsin and take great care with our properties, since one is also our personal vacation home. We rent from 2 minimum - @45 days.
Our excellent renters are often mature adults in the 30-70 age range or young families -- visiting as tourists, potential homebuyers, corporate stayers, or attendees at local graduations or other community events. Our Chalets are occasionally rented together for an extended family group. They are full of amenities often not found in other vacation rentals and frequently commented on in our many 5-star reviews. We also have a number of return renters which we think is the highest complement we can receive on our properties.

Yavapai Regional Medical Center (YRMC) and Dignity Health are currently involved in discussions to evaluate a potential collaboration between the two organizations. YRMC, with acute care hospitals in Prescott and Prescott Valley, primary and specialty care clinics, and extensive outpatient services, has been serving western Yavapai County since 1943.
“This opportunity has tremendous potential to help YRMC advance healthcare in our region,” adds Amos. “Being part of a system that includes a Level-One Trauma Center, Barrow Neurological Institute, Muhammad Ali Parkinson Center, and the Cancer Center at St. Joseph’s would add great value to the high-quality healthcare we already provide to those in our region.”
Discussions are ongoing between both organizations and a decision regarding collaboration is expected this summer.

Yavapai Human Society
Hi There! My name is Ginger and I am a 6 year Terrier, Pit Bull mix who is ready for my forever home! I’ve been here since October and while I love everyone here and all they do for me, I just want a family to call my own. They are clicker training me which is fun because I get to learn things and get treats for being a good girl! I love to play with toys, tennis balls and rope toys but I sometimes get a little carried away and a little mouthy when I’m playing and need to learn cut off cues from my person. I’m super friendly and love attention from everyone. My favorite thing is to roll over on my back for some belly rubs… is there anything better? ~ Here’s the thing though… I have to be the ONLY animal in your home and by that I mean no other dogs, cats or farm animals because we will not get along. I am very afraid of thunder and loud noises and I’m protective of my people and our home, so I need help with proper training to be introduced to new people. Once I get to know you, we’re good to go!! So make an appointment by calling 928-445-2666 to see me and let’s go outside in the bark park so you can see my beautiful personality and smile! Can’t wait to meet you!!
