Everyone counts!

On Wednesday March 4th Faribault Rotary Club heard from our very own Dr. Narren Brown on Census 2020. Narren covered the time line of events for the Census 2020. Starting in this week, you should receive an invitation in the mail to respond. At the end of this month you will receive a reminder letter and April 1st is considered the official Census day. April 8th you will receive reminder number 3 and the 20th of April you will be your final notice. Starting in late April Census workers will be knocking on doors to visit with you if you have not reported.
Reporting is extremely important for our community and our State. Seats in the legislature are determined after the census, and funding for our community comes from the results of the census. Some residents choose to not complete the Census because they are worried about their privacy, or their legal status here in the United States. Only Census workers can see that information for the next 70 years. If community members don’t respond we may not get the funding our community needs.
Census 2020 is also still hiring for roughly 200 jobs this summer. If you are interested check out the Census site. www.census.gov
