ASHLAND — The U.S. Census Bureau has appointed a slate of managers for a new 2010 Census office in Ashland at 1539 Greenup Ave., Suite 501, east of Ashland Town Center. The new managers, all area residents, are:

Two offices opened in 2008 to carry out operations to prepare for the census in the state. They are in Lexington and Louisville. The Ashland office is one of five new local census offices in Kentucky, bringing the total number to seven.
The new managers bring a wealth of talent and experience to the 2010 Census.

Census results are used to determine the number of congressional seats for each state, the shape of legislative and local government districts, and how more than $400 billion in federal funds is distributed annually to communities across the country.
April 1, is Census Day, the reference day for collecting census information from every household in America.
Census questionnaires will be mailed or delivered in mid-March. The Kentucky offices will close after census operations end in 2010.
