Census Complete Count Committee Mission
The Centre County Commissioners encourage the community to respond and message the importance of participating in the 2020 Census through the Centre County Complete Count Committee (CCC). The Centre County CCC was formed with a wide spectrum of community leadership to reach hard to count populations and assist in coordinating county-wide Census 2020 outreach efforts. The CCC is dedicated to delivering appropriate Census messaging across multiple media platforms to ensure increased response rates across all of Centre County. Below is information pertaining to Centre County’s CCC and other complete count committees. Please contact a committee if you are interested in serving
