There is still time to fill out the 2020 Census to ensure proper dollars are distributed throughout our communities and state.

 

Independence Chamber of Commerce Director Lisa Wilson says it's very important to fill out your Census and provides an example of what the impact could be for Independence if your Census is not filled out. 

 

Wilson provides current up to date numbers for towns throughout our area. 

 

If 1% of the Kansas Population is uncounted in the Census, the state could miss receiving over $603 million in federal funding over a 10 year period. You can visit kansascounts.org or call 844-330-2020 for direction on completing your questionnaire.
