Our county is rich in natural beauty with many lakes, streams, ridges and rolling hills, and we offer boundless cultural, educational, employment, and business opportunities that few communities can match.
Our staff and the many departments of our local government are proud to offer services that make us a great place to live, work, play, do business, or simply enjoy the serenity and simple pleasures of life.

WWW.CENSUS.GOV/2010CENSUS
Your community is counting on you
Every 10 years, we conduct a census of our population. The results help determine your representation in government, as well as how federal funds are spent in your community on things like roads, parks, housing, schools, and public safety.
- The census is a count of everyone living in the United States every 10 years.
- The census is mandated by the U.S. Constitution.
- The next census is in 2010.
- Your participation in the census is required by law.
- It takes less than 10 minutes to complete.
- Federal law protects the personal information you share during the census.
- Census data are used to distribute Congressional seats to states, to make decisions about what community services to provide, and to distribute $300 billion in federal funds to local, state and tribal governments each year.
