The Board of Supervisors will designate Jan. 29, 2010, as Earned Income
Tax Credit Awareness Day in Fairfax County. From Jan. 23 through

2010 Census
The Board of Supervisors urges all residents to fill out and return
their census forms by April 1. The U.S. Constitution requires that
a census
be conducted every 10 years to count everyone living in this country. It
is important that every Fairfax County resident be counted, as the census
helps decide how federal funds get distributed to cities and counties
every year.
