Liquor establishments and schools/churches in the downtown-Prescott area could be allowed to get a little closer soon, if the city moves ahead with a proposed new entertainment district.
Greater flexibility in the liquor-license restrictions would be a “key aspect,” of the new district, say city officials.
Still, they emphasize that the district would come with a number of other benefits as well. Chief of among them, according to City Manager Michael Lamar: The potential for a more cohesive marketing strategy for Prescott’s downtown.
The impacts of the proposed new district were central to a study-session discussion by the Prescott City Council this week. At its Tuesday, July 25 meeting, the council heard a presentation on a newly configured proposal for an entertainment district.
