St. Johns County’s 2020 Census Complete Count Committee has launched an educational campaign designed to inform residents on the community-wide benefits of St. Johns County receiving the most accurate and complete census count possible in 2020.
The four-part campaign consists of an educational program, special events, speaking opportunities and partnership engagement. The multi-media educational campaign includes customized branding and messaging, a new website, social media presence, educational videos and printed materials. Residents can now also communicate with the committee via a dedicated email address and sign up for census alerts directly from the Census Bureau.
In addition, St. Johns County’s 2020 Census Complete Count Committee will have a presence at special events and local farmers markets. Committee members will speak to local organizations and community groups. Partnership engagement will occur throughout the county to demonstrate united support for an accurate census count. The Complete Count Committee is comprised of numerous notable St. Johns County organizations including the Chamber of Commerce, the School District, the Veterans Council, the Florida Department of Health, the City of St. Augustine and the City of St. Augustine Beach.
Information collected by the Census Bureau will be used to distribute more than $675 billion in federal funds and grants to states, counties and communities. It will also help determine how many representatives each state gets in Congress and will be used to redraw district boundaries.
