Census 2010 in Pitt County
Pitt County Forms A Census 2010 Complete Count Committee!
On April 6, 2009, the Pitt County Board of Commissioners approved the formation of Pitt County’s Complete Count Committee (CCC), as part of outreach efforts to increase awareness of the 2010 Census. A Complete Count Committee (CCC) is a volunteer committee established by our local government to increase awareness about the census and motivate residents in the community to respond to Census questionnaires. The Complete Count Committee for Pitt County is comprised of community representatives from government agencies, education, business, religious organizations, and the media. The local CCC, in cooperation with local and regional census offices of the U.S. Census Bureau, is charged with developing and implementing a plan to educate Pitt County citizens regarding several key factors directly affecting Pitt County. These factors include elected representation, funds allocation and census data confidentiality. If you woul like more information, please contact Tracy Cash (Planning Department).

May 28, 2009 – Organizational Meeting & Census Training
This was the first meeting of Pitt County’s Complete Count Committee. During the formation of the Complete Count Committee, Pitt County Government included various subsets of the community. Our Committee consists of members from the local media outlets, education sources such as East Carolina University & Pitt County Schools, highly recognizable community groups and various minority and religious groups. Each organization brings unique qualities to our committee which provide visibility to our campaign and a voice for it to be heard. Our Census Participation Specialist trained the new members by focusing on the Complete Count Committee Guide, published by the Census Bureau. Afterwards the new members broke up into subcommittees and developed actions plans for getting the Census message out to the undercounted populations within Pitt County.
