THE 2020 CENSUS IS COMING

 

 

 

Between March 12 and March 20, invitations to participate in the 2020 Census will start arriving in your home with detailed information on how to respond.  For the first time, you can choose to respond online, by phone, or by mail.

 

A complete and accurate count is critical for our Village.  Data from the Census will be used for the next ten years for many things - including determining New York State’s representation in Congress as well as local districting.  Census data is also used for the distribution of about $880 billion of federal funds to local municipalities.

 

For every person that is not counted there is a loss of approximately $2,500 per year to local municipalities. This means that every 400 people who are not counted equates to a loss of about $1 million in funding - each year.

 

Let’s all do our part.  GET COUNTED!
