Some notable businesses located in Beaver Dam include the Beaver Dam Station, the Beaver Dam Bar, Wally's Auto Repair, Coyote Motorsports and the defunct Hamilton Ranch Golf Course (now privately owned and not open to the public), all located along Highway 91. The Post Office is located in Beaver Dam on McKnight Boulevard. Fire Station No. 2 is located in Beaver Dam (No. 1 is located in Desert Springs).

Located one hour North of Las Vegas, which is now considered one of the top travel destinations worldwide, the Scenic/Mesquite area will continue to grow in the foreseeable future. The owners of the Las Vegas MGM Grand Casino/Hotel are currently planning a new casino with a 2000 bed hotel in Mesquite, and a new international airport, south of town, will begin construction soon as well.

Mesquite is becoming a very popular destination for travelers. According to the Mesquite Chamber of Commerce, approximately 150,000 visitors come there each month. The principle attractions are golf and gambling, as well as excellent weather 9 months of the year. (See Google Map of area)

Sewer and Water
These two parcels lies atop the Bonneville Aquifer, providing a virtually endless source of pristine, clear water. The 80 acre parcel has a well that has been drilled and is ready for pump placement. The 40 acre parcel has a well with a pump already installed. Tests on these wells show the water to be of the highest quality, equivalent to bottled water, requiring no special equipment for filtration.

A local utility company is currently being formed, which will handle both water and sewer needs in the community of Scenic. Current estimates are that this utility company, known as Sunrise Utilities, is expected to have a functioning community water supply and sewer to this property by Fall of 2008.

Beaver Dam Elementary School is a primary school serving Kindergarten through Fifth grades. It is part of the Littlefield Unified School District. The school is located in the town of Beaver Dam, which is in the state of Arizona in the United States.

Beaver Dam Elementary School maintains a population of nearly 300.

After years of talk and planning at Governing Board Meetings throughout the years, former Arizona Governor Fife Symington arrived at the old Littlefield School campus in April 1996 to deliver a check for $3 Million to the students and patrons of the Littlefield School District. This money was to be used for the building of a new school across the way in Beaver Dam.

The school first opened its doors for the 1999-2000 school year. The Governing Board members at the time were Tom Stoddard, LaRene Layton, Ron Petersen, Rena Moerman and Cheryl Graham. The Superintendent was Dr. John P. Broberg, whom was offered another job at a Washington County School District school (in Utah) shortly before the end of the 1998-1999 fiscal year. The School Board, with Dr. Broberg's help, hired Dr. Jose L. Trujillo from the Tooele County School District in Utah.

At the time of the Open House in August 1999, the school was housing Kindergarten through Eighth grade. After nearly two years, more students were enrolling and space was getting tight again! Plans were out on the table to expand the growing school. In December 2001 the new East Wing -- with 5 new classrooms, a set of bathrooms, a teacher workroom and a custodial storage room -- was ready for use.
