Delaware State Chamber Of Commerce issued the following announcement on Sept. 26.
Delaware is headed for a crucial milestone. “Delaware is closing in on a million people. And we are very close to a magic number that would enable us to have not just one U.S. representative, but two,” U.S. Sen. Tom Carper, D-Del., said during a news conference on the Green in Georgetown Monday morning.
“In Delaware, it’s estimated that the undercount of populations in the 2010 census equated to roughly about $10M of federal funding that did not come into the state, funding that supports our education system, funding that supports seniors, funding that helps children learn to speak English, food programs… and so securing a complete count for census 2020 to ensure that our residents are recognized is an important source of funding to help our communities help those most in need,” said Ms. Bravo, who also leads the Delaware Alliance for Nonprofit Advancement.
