With 2020 being a U.S. Census year, the Grant County Board of Supervisors has passed a resolution to create a Complete Count Committee. The goal of the committee is to promote the census and get further details about the information, so that all the residents of the county community are counted. Each resident that’s counted means $1,200 in federal aid to the county. The census figures also impact state aid and grants, and assistance for economic development, housing and transportation improvements, as well as determine how many members Wisconsin will have in the U.S. House of Representatives. Appointed to the committee are County Board Chairman Bob Keeney, County Supervisor Don Splinter, county geographic information system specialist Chris Colney, Grant County University of Wisconsin agent James Schneider, County Clerk Linda Gebhard, county residents Gary Corbett and Carla Corbett, and Carol Ann Hood. A representative from CESA-3 and from the Southwest Wisconsin Library System also will be on the committee.
