  2. IMPORTANT ALERT: Residents Are Requested to Watch for Mail from the U.S. Census 2020, Containing Envelope Notice, "YOUR RESPONSE IS REQUIRED BY LAW." Notices directing residents to the U.S.Census online or phone questionnaire were delivered in mail boxes between March 12 and March 20. Residents are strongly encouraged to complete their census questionnaire, which is confidential and protected by law. A complete accurate Census count is highly important to our community, as the results will be used to direct billions of dollars in federal and state funds, determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives and state legislative districts, as well as other important resources. Call 1-844-330-2020 or visit my2020Census.gov with questions or to complete the online questionnaire.
