Description
Last year Hubbard County’s Complete Count committee spent many hours helping with the 2020 Census count. This effort will affect everything from how much Hubbard County and school districts get from state and federal agencies for projects as well as our citizens’ representation in the Legislature and in Congress. The updated Census numbers also will affect how county commissioner districts are drawn.? The Park Rapids League of Women Voters invites you to join them via Zoom at 4 p.m. Wednesday, April 21 for a program titled “2020 Census: Local Impact and Redistricting.”
Antonio Franklin, economic development planner for Headwaters Regional Development Commission, will be guest speaker. He will provide an update on the 2020 Census outcome and dive into the redistricting process and timeline. With the state’s mandatory redrawing of all political districts affecting citizens, Franklin will share steps Hubbard County residents can take to encourage a more transparent process.
Franklin’s primary work focuses on regional economic recovery and resiliency projects through the Headwaters Regional Development Commission. He also provides support on economic development projects for communities and non-profits in the region. He recently administered $3.1 million in COVID-19 business relief grants to small businesses in the region.
He has held positions as executive director of the Thief River Falls Chamber of Commerce, and Project Manager of the Lac Qui Parle County Economic Development Authority. He served previously on the Pennington County Census Committee. Currently, he serves on the BI-CAP Board representing Beltrami County.
