SUMMARY:April 21st: at 4 pm : “ Update 2020 Census: Local Impact and Redistricting”?
DESCRIPTION:Last year Hubbard County's Complete Count committee spent many hours helping with the 2020 Census count. This effort will affect everything from how much Hubbard County and school districts get from state and federal agencies for projects as well as our citizens' representation in the Legislature and in Congress. The updated Census numbers also will affect how county commissioner districts are drawn.? The Park Rapids League of Women Voters invites you to join them via Zoom at 4 p.m. Wednesday\, April 21 for a program titled "2020 Census: Local Impact and Redistricting."\n\n\n\n\n\n \n\nAntonio Franklin\, economic development planner for Headwaters Regional Development Commission\, will be guest speaker.
