Communities Working To Inform Citizens About the Importance of the 2010 Census

From Regional eSource (MORPC's e-newsletter):

With 2010 Census forms starting to arrive in area mailboxes, and the official Census Day less than a month away, there’s never been a better time for community leaders to remind their constituents to fill out and mail back their Census form. This year’s Census, a vital national survey that affects the allocation of billions of federal dollars, takes only 10 minutes to complete.

Communities throughout the region are working hard to inform their residents about the importance of participating in the Census. In Franklin County alone, communities such as Bexley, Canal Winchester, Dublin, Gahanna, Grandview Heights, Grove City, Lockbourne, Marble Cliff, Minerva Park, New Albany, Obetz, Reynoldsburg, Upper Arlington and Whitehall are hanging posters in their public buildings and spreading the word about the Census on their websites and in newsletters.

Most households will receive a questionnaire after the week of March 15 and residents are expected to fill it out immediately and send it back using the pre-stamped envelope.

If your community needs help obtaining Census promotional items, or has other Census-related questions, MORPC's staff can help. Please contact Amelia Costanzo.
