Greetings!

On May 18, Flagstaff voters will go to the election polls. Up for your consideration: Mayor, three Council seats and five ballot initiatives.

One of those initiatives, Proposition 401, is the renewal of the BBB Revenues that directly support art, culture and science programs and organizations in Flagstaff. Check out this article that discusses Prop 401 in more detail.

Other initiatives include the State's big Prop 100, a renewal of the City of Flagstaff's general sales tax, the APS franchise agreement, and the Meet & Confer initiative.  I encourage you to read and learn about each of these initiatives carefully.  Visit the City's website for a description of each initiative in addition to more information about polling places and other important questions.

Cheers,

John Tannous "JT"
Executive Director

    FCP Staff Top 5 - Summer Flagstaff Events

    Aaahhhh, summers at 7000 ft. Even though the solstice doesn't arrive until June 21, it seems that seasons change as soon as the last snowflake has drifted down to earth (which should be any day now...) The staff at FCP is anxiously awaiting for the weather to turn for good. We've even started planning our agenda for the next few months. Below are the five events that you'll most likely see us at, embracing warm weather and celebrating the shedding of winter wear.


    Where will we see you around town this summer?
