TRENTON - Governor Jon S. Corzine, along with State League of Municipalities officials, today launched the one-year countdown to the 2010 Census. The U.S. Census Bureau will begin its decennial nationwide head count exactly one year from today.

"Stand up and be counted," Governor Corzine said. "The recent federal stimulus program that provided funding to states according to their population shows just how important it is that New Jersey receives its fair share based on an accurate count of every resident in the Garden State. In addition, the results of the 2010 Census will be used to distribute more than $300 billion dollars in federal funds each year to states and local communities. That's why it's so important that every New Jersey resident is counted in the upcoming 2010 Census"
