BUSINESS ADMINISTRATOR WALL-stated 147R-20 pertains to Ocean County making available grants for outreach to maximize the census, especially in areas that are hard to count. There were areas in multiple municipalities in Ocean County that were determined on a map that were harder to count. He drafted an application to maximize the value and it helps people understand the census and participates. It is important for Jackson Township to maximize the value of Federal resources by making sure we are counted accurately. The grant was awarded and this is part of the process to deploy the grant proceeds in the various ways we applied for. It is public outreach. It will be appropriate advertisements in multiple area and media. The media includes social media, advertisements on our transit buses, holding a meeting at the Senior center to educate people on the census or video. $10,200.00 will be granted and stated the Township will not exceed the allotted monies.
