Due to the COVID-19 crisis, the deadline for completing the census has been extended to Oct. 31.

County Executive Denise Winfrey encourages everyone to complete the Census and help shape the future of Will County.

"The Census is critical in determining fair representation in the United States Congress, obtaining equitable federal funding, and also important to attract future development to Will County," Winfrey said. "We want to count everyone in Will County because everyone counts."
