Time is running out - fill out your census today!

Franklin County is still lagging behind most of the rest of Florida in filling out the census.

As of Wednesday, only 27.8 percent of households in Franklin County had completed their census form.

Statewide, over 58 percent of households have filled out their census forms.

In Wakulla County the return rate is nearly 57 percent.

In Gulf County its 31 percent and in Liberty County its just over 26 percent.

It is vitally important that everyone fill out their census forms, its estimated that each one is worth about 14 thousand dollars for Franklin County.

That is money that will go to roads and bridges, schools, rural health programs, emergency response programs and other services that Franklin County desperately needs.

Filling out the census is quick and easy; you can do it on-line at www.my2020census.gov.

If you don't have internet you can do it by phone by calling 1-844-330-2020.

And if you have already finished your census, remind your friends and neighbors to do the same.

And remember, if you fill out your census form during May you have a chance to win a 25 dollar gift card.

Just e-mail a screen shot of your confirmation number or completed questionnaire to Fccensus2020@franklincountyflorida.com.
