Fulton County has kicked off its count down to the 2020 Census.

Robb Pitts, chairman of the Fulton County Board of Commissioners, wants to ensure there isn’t an undercount of residents next year.

“For two specific reasons,” Pitts said. “Additional funds coming into the country for programs. And number two, the possibility of an additional congressional seat.”
