Purpose

RECOGNIZE THE IMPORTANCE OF THE 2020 CENSUS AND AGREEING TO CREATE A COMPLETE COUNT COMMITTEE

Background

Our United States Constitution requires a Census of the population of our nation every ten years. Census information is used to determine how many members our state has in the United States House of Representatives and is also used to determine districts in our state legislature ad local governing bodies. Having an accurate and complete Census count is important to our community in determining Federal and State aids and grants, economic development, housing assistance, transportation improvements, and many other uses. Every resident of our community counts and deserves to be counted. . The purpose of the Complete Count Committee to increase awareness and motivate residents to respond to the 2020 Census. The Complete Count Committees serve as state and local “census ambassador” groups that play an integral part in ensuring a complete and accurate count of the community in the 2020 Census. Success of the census depends on community involvement at every level.
