The 2020 Census counts every person living in the United States and five U.S. territories. The count is mandated by the Constitution and conducted by the U.S. Census Bureau, a nonpartisan government agency. The 2020 Census counts the population in the United States and five U.S. territories (Puerto Rico, American Samoa, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, Guam, and the U.S. Virgin Islands). Each home will receive an invitation to respond to a short questionnaire—online, by phone, or by mail—between March 12-20.
The census provides critical data that lawmakers, business owners, teachers, and many others use to provide daily services, products, and support for you and your community. Every year, billions of dollars in federal funding go to hospitals, fire departments, schools, roads, and other resources based on census data.
The results of the census also determine the number of seats each state will have in the U.S. House of Representatives, and they are used to draw congressional and state legislative districts. It’s also in the Constitution: Article 1, Section 2, mandates that the country conduct a count of its population once every 10 years. The 2020 Census will mark the 24th time that the country has counted its population since 1790.
Participating in the census is required by law, even if you recently completed another survey from the Census Bureau. A complete and accurate count is critical for you and your community, because the results of the 2020 Census will affect community funding, congressional representation, and more.

The Heart of Uwchlan project emerged out of the EAC’s #SustainableUwchlan goals and the growing community interest in sustainable gardening practices that include planting native plants to support our threatened pollinators and enhance the environment for birds, butterflies, and other beneficial wildlife. While the Uwchlan Township building campus has been maintained with care over many years, the opportunity exists to enhance the park to make it more attractive as well as more environmentally beneficial.
The Heart of Uwchlan project started as a Milkweed Garden, analysis of areas where stream banks can be restored with beneficial plantings and the development of a plant list that could enhance the landscaping around the Veterans Memorial. The project includes working with local experts, including Penn State Extension Master Watershed Stewardship trainees and Pennsylvania Master Naturalist trainees from the Green Valleys Watershed Association. Plans are evolving, preparation is being done, and planting activities will start this coming spring.
An important aspect of the Heart of Uwchlan project is to engage the public about nature: to enhance the park to make it more inviting to families, especially children, with the natural environment. Learning stations about natural topics will be developed and educational events are currently being planned. The EAC is developing ideas to involve school children and their families in the activities at the park. It is also a goal to educate about environmentally beneficial practices with examples families can apply in their own backyards, in response to a growing movement toward a change in gardening practices to be more environmentally sustainable.
The public is invited to become involved in the Heart of Uwchlan project and other #SustainableUwchlan activities. Interested in participating? Contact the Uwchlan Environmental Advisory Council at eac@uwchlan.com.
A pothole develops when water seeps below the road through small cracks in the pavement surface. As the water repeatedly freezes and thaws due to temperature fluctuations, a cavity forms below the surface and larger cracks develop, which destroys the strength of the pavement.
Uwchlan Township residents can report potholes on Township roads online by Clicking Here.
Potholes and other roadway concerns on state roads can be reported by calling 1-800-FIX-ROAD or visiting www.penndot.gov and clicking on “Submit Roadway Feedback.” When reporting a pothole to PADOT, motorists should be as specific as possible and include the state route number, county, municipality, street name and familiar landmarks.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, all dates are subject to change. Please visit the Township website Calendar or up-to-date information on all meeting dates and events.
