LET’S COUNT

LET’S COUNT — Harley Forrester, an administrative assistant at the Obion County mayor’s office, recently posted a U.S. Census 2020 reminder on the front window of the office on South Third Street in Union City. Similar notices are posted at locations throughout Obion County to remind residents of the annual census which will get under way next spring. The Census 2020 invitations will start to arrive in the mail March 12-20, 2020, with every home to receive an invitation to participate in the count by April 1. Once the invitation arrives, recipients should respond for their home in one of three ways: online, by phone or by mail. The U.S. Constitution mandates everyone in the country be counted every 10 years.
