Census forms have arrived in the mail 2020-03-14 - Columbia - Photo by Linda Waggener, ColumbiaMagazine.com. The 2020 Census forms came in the mail Saturday, March 14, and a message on the outside of the envelope reminds us "...your response is required by law." The options are to fill out and return the form which takes about 10 minutes, or go to the website listed and fill out the form online. It is important to document the information requested so that we get full count, full opportunities in future for funding of roads and schools, hospitals, etc. If we don't respond by one of these two ways, in April a Census Taker will come knocking on the door.
