The meaning of the word prospect can be looked up in a dictionary http://www.onelook.com/?w=prospect&ls=a .
The meaning of a word in a certain context can be figured out from a context, which you have not given.

§ 49. possessive constructions
We all know that in English you form the possessive by adding an apostrophe and an s, or sometimes just an apostrophe, at the end of a noun. Pronouns have their own possessive forms (my, your, his, her, its, our, their). Of course, another way to indicate possession is to use a prepositional phrase using of: the property of the town.
