Greetings…
As a kick-off to the local promotional effort encouraging participation in the 2010 Census – I am posting some information for your information.
Your Licking County Government is sponsoring the local Complete Count Census Committee and helping to coordinate this event.
Attached and also pasted below is information on the 2010 Census Road Tour which will be in Licking County this Tuesday, January 12th over the midday hour (beginning at 11:00am) at ‘The Place Off The Square’ in downtown Newark.
Communitywide participation in and support of the Census (which happens every 10-years) in critical to Ohio and Licking County in many ways – especially in terms of Federal Representation and funding to local communities.
The event this Tuesday includes a free chili tasting and the opportunity to learn about the Census, and job opportunities related to the Census, as well.
If you are available this Tuesday – I would encourage you to attend.
Regards…Licking County Commissioner Tim Bubb
