Wildlife connectivity planning
Summary
The draft implementation plan lays out three pathways — zoning updates, land conservation, and wildlife crossings — to protect habitat as the town grows. A possible voter-supported conservation tax could fund it, and officials stress it's a years-long effort dependent on money.

Impact analysis
A conservation fiscal analysis study could cost roughly $100,000–$150,000, plus new staffing and future funding mechanisms.
Residents who value open space, trails, and wildlife, plus property owners near preserved corridors.
Property owners worried about new overlay restrictions may see limits on future development options, though consultants stress participation is voluntary.

[Archived] Town Council P&Z Joint Study Session - Thursday — January 15, 2026
Prescott Valley is deciding how to keep wildlife — especially pronghorn — connected across the landscape as the town grows. Three approaches are on the table: wildlife-friendly development rules, conserving key habitat with easements and incentives, and an official corridor overlay map that could eventually lead to a wildlife overpass. The plan is expected back for adoption in June.
