Carroll County businesses… Fill out those economic census forms!
Comet staff report

Carroll County's 220 businesses' census forms are due Feb. 12, 2008. Any business sent a form is required to complete and return it to the U.S. Census Bureau.

Many businesses may not realize how important the census is to local economy. Data collected once every five years supports public policy and business decisions, both national and local. Economic indicators such as gross domestic product, monthly retail sales and the producer price index depend on this census for continued accuracy. The data are used by businesses large and small and is indispensable to understand America's economy.
