Yavapai County’s Administration Building Closed Due To A Serious Threat

The Yavapai County Administration Building in Prescott has closed for the next five-to-ten days, due to a threat. Yavapai County Board of Supervisors chairman Craig Brown says the building in the one-thousand block of Fair Street was shut down due to a threat that is being taken seriously. He said in a statement, “I believe that at this time it is in the best interest of everyone if we restrict access to this building for a week or two.” Many of the services provided by departments located in the County Administration building can be provided over the phone or via the County website, but if customers need to do business in person, they can do so. They encourage everyone to call before they come in person. Phone numbers for each department can be found at Yavapai.US/departments. There is no word on the nature of the threat.
