Residents interested in help filling out their censuses, need not look any farther than the local chamber office at 275 West Princeton Dr.

 

The US Census Bureau is using the Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce’ office as a Census Questionnaire Assistance Center.

Census personnel will be on duty fro 1 to 3 p.m., Monday and Thursday, and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Chamber directors said there are very good reasons for everyone in Princeton to participate:

 

1.  It’s safe - By law, the Census Bureau cannot share respondents' answers with anyone, including the IRS, FBI, CIA, INS or any other government agency.

2.  It’s easy - The mail-in census form is only ten questions long and will only take about ten minutes to answer.

3.  It allocates money and resources to help you - Information the census collects helps determine how more than $400 billion dollars of annual federal funding is spent on infrastructure and services that go to benefit the public including hospitals, job training centers, schools, bridges and roads.

4.  It helps your voice be heard - Redistricting is the process of changing electoral district and constituency boundaries, usually in response to periodic census results. Census information affects the number of seats each state occupies in the U.S. House of Representatives.
