County wants "Fayette First" on Census returns

The Fayette County Commission recently recognized its “Complete Count Committee” which is charged with maximizing mail return rates for the Census among Fayette County residents.

Fayette County officials are hoping to “Keep Fayette First” when it comes to the county’s response rate to the U.S. Census.

The county has a bit of a reputation to uphold, having had the highest mail return rates in Georgia for the Census in 1990 (76 percent) and 2000 (79 percent). Organizers are hoping to significantly increase those numbers this year.
