Where can they register?

They can send form via mail to the SACC

OR

Drop off at any of these locations:Casey’s 24hrsFire N AleWalgreensCounty Market

Why your business wasn’t chosen?

• We didn’t want to purchase too many lockboxes.

• We went off of hours of operation and traffic count.

• We didn’t want all businesses having to manage the applications and monies coming in.
