Census 2020

In preparation for the 2020 Census, address canvasing has begun in neighborhoods across the country. Census takers will be knocking on doors to verify addresses in an effort to ensure an accurate and complete count. Please note: census takers will never ask for social security numbers, mothers’ maiden names or credit card numbers and this information should never be provided.

Each Census taker will carry an ID badge, bag, and either a phone, iPad or laptop – all clearly marked with a Census Bureau logo. If you still have questions, call 800-923-8282 to speak with a local Census Bureau representative to verify that a Census taker is currently canvasing your area. Additionally, an online interactive map shows the areas that the Census Bureau plans to send address canvassers.

Common Area Turf Transition

DLC Resources is currently preparing turf areas for upcoming overseeding. Watering to these areas has been cut back and mow heights are being lowered to help the Bermuda grass transition into dormancy and to prepare for rye overseeding, scheduled to begin on September 19. Turf areas not scheduled for overseeding are being watered in order to maintain healthy Bermuda grass as long as weather allows. Take a look at the turf rotation map to see what areas are not being overseeded.
