YOUR CENSUS FORM IS GOOD FOR YOUR COMMUNITY

Simply filling out your census form can benefit our downtown and our entire community by making it known what resources are needed for our community.

Accurate data reflecting changes in the community are critical in apportioning seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and deciding how more than $400 billion per year is allocated for infrastructure projects.

That's more than $4 trillion over a 10-year period for things like public works projects and services like job training centers.

Additionally, residents themselves have used census data to support community initiatives involving environmental legislation, quality-of-life issues and consumer advocacy.

Do your part for your downtown efforts and your community as a whole by filling out and sending in your 2010 Census Form.

Information garnered from the US Census website at www.2010.census.gov.
