City of Beardstown issued the following announcement on March 27.
In light of the COVID-19 outbreak, the U.S. Census Bureau has adjusted 2020 Census operations in order to protect the health and safety of Census employees and the American public.
You can help shape your future, and your community's future, by responding to the 2020 Census online now. Census results help determine how billions of dollars in federal funding flow into states and communities each year including health clinics, fire departments, schools, roads, and how many seats in Congress each state gets.
The 2020 Census will ask a few simple questions about you and everyone who is or will be living with you on April 1, 2020.
