Us Census employees will be visiting every housing unit in every neighborhood between April and July this year. The Census Bureau must compile information regarding addresses and exact locations of each place that people live in order to conduct an accurate census in 2010. You will see Census employees wearing official identification and carrying hand-held computers throughout our community. They are capturing physical addresses and their GPS coordinates for the purpose of the census.
We have received reports that they have already started in Whitestown and want all residents to be assured that they are working in their official capacity. If approached for information you have every right to ask to see their identification. Your cooperation with the census will enable the town to receive an accurate count. Many state and federal funds are distributed based on population as well as representation in our various levels of government. Please be counted, as it will benefit our community. If you have any problems due to this, please feel free to contact the Whitestown Police Department at 736-1100.
