Should Ft. Mohave be annexed??

No... not by Kingman.

Ft. Mohave is an area of unincorporated land just south of Bullhead City and at the recent Bullhead City Council retreat the subject of annexation came up in conversation.

See the article here.

(Bullhead City Council Member Sam) Medrano said that with retail businesses moving south along with the population, Bullhead City would eventually lose sales tax revenue.

“The longer we wait, the more it's going to cost us,” (Council Member Jan) Ward said, adding that El Rio developer Brad Hoover is on board with the idea of annexation.

Medrano also said he believes that Bullhead City and Fort Mojave are a lot alike and Fort Mojave residents would benefit from city services.


Our own City Council will have a retreat event on December 12 later this month.

Our two closest municipal neighbors (Bullhead City and Lake Havasu City) are busy with plans for annexation or have been entering into development agreements to help provide infrastructure.

Meanwhile... the loudest political groups in Kingman have been telling us all to wait a year.
