The Tehachapi Chamber used the Tehachapod podcast to summarize a Kern County façade improvement grant program that offers financial assistance designed to help small-business owners and property owners in the unincorporated areas of Kern County enhance building façades and security.

Claire Scott, a Tehachapi Chamber representative, described the program and said awards are available “up to $10,000” and that the program serves businesses in Kern County’s unincorporated areas. Scott encouraged interested businesses to “check it out” and provided contact information cited in the broadcast (info@pdevsolutions.com and (661) 847-9254) for questions.

The Chamber framed the announcement as part of its work to share opportunities for local businesses to improve storefronts and security. Scott did not describe program eligibility criteria beyond the broad categories of “small business owners and property owners” nor did she provide application deadlines or county contact names on the podcast; the Chamber directed listeners to the program contacts for details.

Local businesses should verify eligibility, application dates and program rules directly with Kern County program administrators or the contact information provided on the Chamber announcement.
