October 2, 2020 - Monday is the deadline day for two important 2020 events: Census and Election.
2020 Census
According to the U.S. Census Bureau, the results of the 2020 Census will help determine how hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding flow into communities every year for the next decade. That funding shapes many different aspects of every community, no matter the size, no matter the location. Participating in the census is really easy and quick. Visit the U.S. Census Bureau at https://2020census.gov/en.html to complete your information online; the process only takes a few minutes. You have the option of completing the questionnaire by phone. To begin, call 844-330-2020, or call the number associated with your preferred language here from their language support list at https://2020census.gov/en/ways-to-respond/responding-by-phone.html.
