News and Events

By early March, the U.S. Census Bureau will begin an advertising campaign to get residents of every household to cooperate and be counted. It is vitally important for everyone to participate for a number of reasons. A community’s share of grants and government funding is increased by an accurate head count. Additionally, business and real estate entrepreneurs consider census figures to determine where to invest. Illinois is in jeopardy of losing up to two seats in Congress because of declining population.

Please provide the Census bureau with accurate information for the sake of our town and region. The results will impact South Jacksonville until the year 2030.
