On a local level, each resident brings more than $2,790 in federal funding to the state every year. Those funds are used for transportation and infrastructure projects, affordable housing creation, first time home buyer loans, head start programs and free and reduced school lunches. Participation in the census ensures that Richfield receives its fair allotment of federal dollars to continue funding these important projects.
