(Juneau) Dodge County officials are looking for public help with the 2020 census. The county is seeking assistance from various community groups, including a broad spectrum of government and community leaders from education, non-profit groups, business, service clubs, healthcare, faith-based groups and other community organizations to establish a Complete Count Committee. The goal of the committee is to increase awareness and encourage Dodge County residents to respond to the 2020 census.
County Board Chair Russ Kottke says $675-billion dollars in federal spending is distributed annually based on census date. He says the funding supports roads and highways, education, healthcare, libraries, police and fire services, housing assistance senior and social services and other vital programs that benefit Dodge County.
For the first time, people will be able to respond by phone, internet or mail. The initial meeting to form the committee is scheduled for December 18th at 1:30pm in Rooms 1H/1I of the Dodge County Administration Building in Juneau.
