By offering information on programs like the Facade Improvement Grant and Rehabilitation Tax Credit , we are providing tangible support for businesses looking to enhance their physical presence while complying with county regulations . "
   To assist businesses in achieving compliance , inspectors from the Department of Planning and Growth Management will provide guidance to each business owner on how to bring their property into compliance with the County Code .
