At the April 7, 2009 city commission meeting, city officials moved to enter into a partnership agreement with the U.S. Census Bureau to make certain that every resident living in the City of Apalachicola is counted during the 2010 Census.
However, neither your city government nor the U.S. Census Bureau can do this alone; we need the assistance of other partners, individuals, groups, and organizations from throughout the city to help build awareness about the census.
We need you to get involved by volunteering to serve on the Complete Count Committee (CCC). The purpose of the CCC is as stated to bring awareness concerning the census as well as to motivate residents in the community to respond.
During the last census, only 44 percent of Franklin County’s population including the City of Apalachicola responded to the count.
That was unfortunate because data collected from the census help determine the amount of Federal funding the city receives, the number of seats each state has in the U.S. House of Representatives and it’s used to determine where to build new roads, hospitals, and schools.
For the 2010 Census, we can turn that around by volunteering to join the Complete Count Committee (CCC), for more information telephone City Administrator Betty Taylor-Webb at (850) 653-9319 or via email at apalachadmin@fairpoint.net.
