Quad Cities Business News, which has been publishing in Arizona for 13 years, has suspended operations.

A story on its website states, “Owner and Publisher Troy Bix said the decision was difficult but necessary, citing financial and operational constraints that have intensified in recent years.

“‘This publication has always been about lifting up our community by telling the stories that matter,’ Bix said. ‘We have worked hard to be a reliable, positive voice for the Prescott area, and stepping away for now is one of the hardest decisions I’ve had to make. But it’s the right one at this moment. We hope that, with time and community support, there will be an opportunity for QCBN to return.’

“Bravely founded in the slow recovery years following The Great Recession, Quad Cities Business News carved out a unique niche in the region’s media landscape by focusing on local entrepreneurs, regional development and the people shaping the future of Yavapai County. Its coverage highlighted small-business milestones, industry trends, healthcare expansion, workforce challenges and education initiatives that touched families and shaped the quality of life across the Quad Cities.”
