Patridge: Businesses must engage in 2010 Census count
January 26th, 2010
Keith Patridge, President/CEO of the McAllen Economic Development Corporation urges all businesses to engage in the 2010 Census.
In a recent interview with the Rio Grande Guardian, Patridge said, “The census will impact the amount of tax revenues that comes into the community. If we do not count all the people in our area, we are just cheating ourselves and our opportunity for growth and revenue from the federal government.”
The Census Bureau is looking to hire about 2,500 temporary workers in Hidalgo County to conduct and promote the count. Click here for more information on census jobs.
