New county maps planned

The Prescott-Nevada County Chamber of

Commerce, Nevada County 911 Office and the

Nevada County Picayune are teaming up to create a

new county map.

Nevada County 911 Coordinator Dale Booker said

there will be very few changes to the map itself, but

that the new maps will be more attractive due to

additional color.

Chamber Director Brandy Jones said the maps are

a service of the chamber for those who live and work

in Nevada County.

Weve always done this, Jones said.

Nevada County Economic Development Director

Mary Godwin said the maps change every three or

four years.

Its a service we provide for people coming into

the county and people living here, Godwin said.

The maps are provided free to anyone who

requests one. The maps are paid for by advertisers.

Ads are being sold through the Nevada County

Picayune and the Hope Star.

Godwin said local businesses are often contacted

about advertising on maps that are not officially sponsored

by the Chamber, EDO or any other local entity,

but are portrayed as having a local endorsement.

We want the local businesses to know this is the

official map, Godwin said.

Nevada County Picayune Publisher George Jinks

said the map will be color on both sides and will have

a glossy finish.

map, contact Mary at 777-8841 or call the Picayune at
