March 24, 2020 – What do COVID-19 and the Census have in common? They both rely on YOU. Local leaders are encouraging residents to reply to the 2020 Census today.
Being prepared for pandemics and disasters in Decatur, Macon County and central Illinois relies heavily on funding received through the Census. According to census.gov, “The Census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for you and your community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on Census data.”
You can reply to the Census online HERE or by phone at 844-330-2020.
