How does the business registration program benefit business owners and the general public?
There are two major benefits to the business community and general public from the business registration program: Public Safety The program gives county law-enforcement and fire personnel a better understanding of the business community and its processes and alerts them to potential hazards, making them more effective when they respond to protect residents and property. Water Quality The business registration program requires that specific business types be identified, prioritized and inspected for stormwater management requirements. It will ensure that those businesses have implemented best-management practices to prevent illicit discharges into the stormwater system that could ultimately harm water quality.
