The Census 2000 Community Action Committee urges everyone in Flagler County to be counted. Be on the lookout for Census questionnaires. Answering the Census is important, easy and safe. Answers are confidential and protected under the law. They are also used to plan hospitals and schools as well as distributing federal, state and local funds to those in need. Information is also used in planning new highways, preparing for natural disasters, and developing maps. Census 2000 will help decision-makers understand which neighborhoods need new schools and which ones need greater services for the elderly, which is why it is so important to fill out your forms and mail them back. For more information, call (904) 437-7484.
