U.S. Census Bureau's Local Census Office is in the Boone Point complex on the
N.C. 105 Extension. Staff members are setting up the 6,000 square feet of
office space to prepare for the 2010 census, and about 20 people are already
preparing for the population count. Boone LCO manager Ceylon Barclay said about
60 more workers will be needed for phone work to follow up on households that
don't mail back in their census forms. Applications can be made by calling (828)
