The US Census Bureau will have census takers in the Orion Township area, regarding the new American Community Survey program.
The program will change the way future censuses are conducted. Starting in July 2005, households will receive the American Community Survey questionnaire, to which they must respond under Title 13 of the United States Code.
If they do not respond to written notices and reminders, they will receive personal calls or visits from census bureau personnel.
The bureau notified the township board on June 20 that census takers would be going door-to-door in Orion, as necessary.
