ELLICOTT CITY, MD – Tomorrow, Howard County Executive Calvin Ball will host a launch event for “HoCo Counts,” his initiative aimed at raising awareness for the April 2020 Census, featuring a “Complete Count Committee” to ensure full community participation.
“The Census count will be critical to understanding the updated picture of our community, the needs of all our residents, and the future of our work to serve the public. We are a data-informed government, and the Census gives valuable insight into our needs for schools, housing, transportation, healthcare, and more,” said Ball. “We are working hard to ensure that every person is counted, and that Howard County is fully represented across our region and nationally for the strength and diversity of our community.”
The “Complete Count Committee” will be a group of community leaders and organizations from public, private, non-profit and faith communities, whose sole purpose will be to get a complete count of Howard County.
