• Prescott Reminds Residents of Political Sign Rules (signalsaz.com) — Prescott residents placing political signs this election season need to follow city rules, including two sign-free zones created to protect scenic visitor areas. The city explains where signs are allowed in rights-of-way, safety requirements, and bans on campaign materials inside city facilities, and provides phone numbers for code compliance and legal questions.
   

• Public Surveys on the Prescott National Forest (usda.gov) — If you're out enjoying Prescott National Forest, you may see survey workers in orange vests stopping visitors along roads and at recreation sites starting October 1. These brief, voluntary interviews will run through September 2027 to measure how people use the forest and how their visits impact nearby communities, including Prescott's economy.
   

• NAIA adds four institutions for 27-28 school year (coachad.com) — Yavapai College in Prescott is joining the NAIA for the 2027–28 school year, shifting from junior-college competition into a four-year athletics association.
