GREENBURGH CENSUS ACCOMPLISHMENT- SAME RESPONSE AS IN 2010 WITH ONE MONTH TO GO (likely to be higher than 2010 response rates) TOWN TO RECEIVE MORE FEDERAL/STATE GRANTS FOR EVERY PERSON WHO RESPONDS --need more responses Local governments like Greenburgh receive federal and state government financial assistance based on our population. Every ten years the federal government conducts a census. The more people who respond to the census - the more money the town and school districts receive. Representation in the House of Representatives, NYS Senate, Assembly and Westchester County Board of Legislators is based on population. Ten years ago 72.3% of the people living in Greenburgh responded to the questionnaire. The 2020 census is currently taking place -and will continue till the end of September. Earlier this week the town hit an important accomplishment- we were the 15th municipality in Westchester to reach our 2010 response rate.
