Planning for the 2020 census and working toward a new health department for Liberty County dominated a “report out” session of Liberty officials based on the countywide planning workshop.Assistant County Administrator Bob Sprinkel emphasized the importance of the census because the every-10-years count is used for planning and for allocation of funds and services.“Everybody is a stakeholder in the census,” Sprinkel said, “It affects all of us.” Sprinkel said it was estimated that Liberty County was undercounted by a minimum of 10,000 in the 2010 census. Officials say another problem is the Army’s method of counting deployed soldiers.
