Valle Vista -- Just outside of Kingman Arizona A new industry is taking root just outside of Kingman AZ that will market the area as a destination for wine travelers and enthusiasts. Resident Don Stetson and his business partners broke ground on a new winery and event center in Valle Vista on Sept. 30.          Stetson Winery is the second such endeavor to break ground in the Valle Vista area.

The unfortunate answer to that question is "YES" we are still in a depressed market here in Mohave County, AZ. It is a great time for Buyers and Investors to make their first home purchase or investment property purchases but is very hard on the average home owner who needs to relocate for a job transfer, can't refinance because their home won't appraise for what they owe, has suffered a job loss and can no longer afford the home but due to the market prices can not sell for enough to pay off his mortgage.                                                                                                        These are troubling times for most. Job loss is at all time highs. The highest we as a country have seen since the great depression.   Credit card interest rates have gone up and cre... 12/17/2009

The Mohave County Board of Supervisors approved a zoning change that will allow Sun West Bio Diesel to proceed forward with their plans to construct a plant just outside of Kingman.  In spite of vocal opposition to the plant from Valle Vista residents concerned about the safety of the project the Supervisors unanimously approved the change. The planned site, currently zoned agricultural/residential will be changed to heavy industrial providing the plant is started within two years.  If the company fails to produce the property will revert back to original zoning. The company still needs to get air, water and other permits from the state and federal goverment agencies.  This rezone is just the first step in the process to build and operate the facility.

In the last few months, probably the last few years, there has been a huge amount of development that wants to create solar farms, wind farms and biodiesel plants.

These two entities have brought their presentations to the county planning and zoning commision for Mohave County on Wednesday of last week and also this Wednesday.

A Canadian Company, Rocher Deboule has manganese in its sights in Mohave County.  They have purchased Artillery Peak located 80-90 miles south of Kingman. A company spokesman cites that currently 95% of the manganese used to make U.S. Steel is imported from overseas, particularly from China.  China's own needs have reduced the amount of manganese available for export.  One of the few American reserves of this mineral is located at Artillery Peak.  Although mined before, the company believes there may be up to 150 million tons of 3-4% grade ore, making Artillery Peak the largest source of manganese in the U.S. The company hopes to have the mine up and running in 2 1/2 years with the hope of employing about 100 people.  They currently are in the process of permitting the site.
