Right now, in just ten minutes, you can help make sure our community gets its share of federal funding and accurate political representation for the next ten years.  For the first time, the U.S. Census Bureau is accepting responses online. The process is quick and secure.  When you respond to the 2020 Census, you help inform how billions of dollars in public funding is distributed annually to local communities, including ours. The current situation underscores the need for census data. Census results are used to inform planning and funding for hospitals and health clinics, emergency preparedness, even schools and school lunch programs. Respond now at 2020Census.gov.
