This means that the citizens provide tax credits, in the form of tax and permit rebates, to certain tourism-related businesses that make new investments in town.
Cape Charles Mini Golf is covered by this ordinance (20161117) and has applied to enter the program. If approved by Town Council, the golf course is due $ 4,061.80.
