U.S. Census Bureau outlines 2030 hiring needs to Brewster County commissioners
Summary
A Census Bureau partnership specialist told the Brewster County Commissioners Court on Nov. 12 that the agency will need local hires for an upcoming 2030 Census test and the official 2030 count; the presentation was informational and required no court action.
Lacey Loftin, United States Census Bureau Partnership Specialist, told the Brewster County Commissioners Court on Nov. 12 that the bureau will seek local workers for a 2030 Census test and for the official 2030 enumeration and asked county officials to help with outreach and recruitment.
Loftin outlined the need for temporary hires to support enumeration and testing activities ahead of the 2030 Census and said local partnerships with county governments and community organizations help the bureau reach hard-to-count populations. The presentation was described in the minutes as discussion-only; the court did not take action.
The matter matters to Brewster County because census counts guide federal funding formulas and congressional apportionment, and local participation can affect how accurately residents are counted. The court recorded no follow-up motions or commitments in the minutes.
Judge Greg P. Henington presided over the presentation. The court moved on to other agenda items after the informational briefing.
