Goals and Objectives
Prescott Valley Citizens Alliance (PVCA) supports public policy that will minimize the depletion of natural resources and that will meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs.
PVCA advocates for a healthy environment and high quality of life including:
Supporting protection of air and water quality, natural resources, wildlife habitats and open space
Pursuing places for recreation and an eco-friendly environment for the enjoyment of residents and visitors
Advancing land development design standards and the appointment of a citizen-based Advisory Committee
Promoting essential services that support our quality of life
