Norcross
City partnering with bilingual students for 2020 Census count
The Norcross Complete Count Committee is partnering with Norcross High School students, who are either bilingual or taking upper level Spanish language classes, to canvas two census tracts with the lowest response rate to the last census, those east of Buford Highway.
The committee will be canvassing the neighborhood, handing out census flyers in English/Spanish at each residence with translation help from the high school students.
