Haverhill Mayor James J. Fiorentini and Congresswoman Lori Trahan plan to host a forum on 2020 nationwide census next Wednesday, Aug. 21, from 5-6 p.m. at the Barking Dog Alehouse, 77 Washington St., Haverhill.
In announcing the forum, Trahan emphasized the importance of Haverhill getting an accurate count in the constitutionally mandated census. If Haverhill receives a lower count for the census, significant portions of federal funding could be reduced or eliminated.
All community members are able to come ask questions of Fiorentini and Trahan on the census process.
