The 2020 Census comes to an end at the end of September. It's not too late to be counted. Click on the link below for information on how to be counted in this year's Census. Being counted ensures our county and State receives equitable distribution in funding and gains fair representation. Lee County's numbers are down 2.7% from the 2010 Census. #Everyonecounts https://5il.co/kpgf
