March 16, 2020 – Hinesville, GA The Liberty County Census Complete Count Committee is carefully monitoring the coronavirus (COVID-19) situation and following guidance of the U.S. Census Bureau based on recommendations from federal, state and local health authorities. We are adjusting outreach operations as outlined below to protect the health and safety of our volunteers and the public while fulfilling our mission to get Liberty County residents counted in the 2020 Census.

The 2020 Census began on March 12 with the ability to complete the Census online for the first time in U.S. history. It has never been easier to respond on your own, whether online, over the phone or by mail—all without having to meet a census taker. We ask residents to take advantage of the opportunity to complete the online form in 12 languages at my2020census.gov.

Currently, the planned completion date for data collection for the 2020 Census is July 31, 2020, but that date can and will be adjusted by the U.S. Census Bureau if necessary. We will continue to monitor the situation, take appropriate steps in consultation with public health and emergency management authorities, and provide ongoing updates at www.census.libertycountyga.com. For more information on local Census outreach and marketing, contact the Liberty County 2020 Census Outreach Coordinator Krystal Hart at krystal.hart@libertycountyga.com or 912-334-2790.
