Owner of Lori Ann's Preschool apologizes for missed renewal; board waives late fees
Summary
Tanisha Wilcox, owner of Lori Ann's Preschool, attended a late-business-license hearing, explained insurance-related delays prevented opening a second location, and the board voted to waive late fees so she can pay without penalty.
Tanisha Wilcox, owner of Lori Ann's Preschool, appeared before the Board of Public Works and Safety for a late-business-license hearing and asked the board to waive late fees for a license she said she never activated.
Wilcox told the board she had planned a second location but did not complete state licensing after water damage and an insurance claim delayed the opening. She said the location "never actually opened" and "I never had children in there or anything like that." Staff confirmed the original license application in 2023 and nonrenewal in 2024; a clerk moved that the board waive the late fees and a fellow member seconded. The board voted "aye" and staff said Wilcox could stay to receive paperwork and pay without the late fee attached.
The board’s action waived penalties but does not retroactively change licensing timelines; staff will provide follow-up paperwork to complete the administrative process.
