There will be a community forum Friday for citizens and stakeholders interested in learning more about the upcoming U.S. Census.
Kisha Mische Jeffrey, a partnership specialist with the U.S. Census Bureau, will present information about the Census during a meeting at 8am at the Crittenden County Public Library.
This program was originally scheduled to be presented at a Crittenden County Chamber of Commerce Community Leadership Breakfast on Friday, but it was cancelled today.
Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom said the Census program is particularly important to the county's future. Crittenden has lost population over the past several decades. Newcom hopes that a recent bump in the number of retirees coming to the community might have an affect on the Census figures in 2020.
More people equates to more funding for a variety of community programs, Newcom said.
