"A great place to live, work, and play!"

The City of Sulphur, Louisiana, named for the chemical and mining industry that helped establish Calcasieu Parish in the late 1800's, is the 13th largest city in Louisiana with a population of nearly 22,000. Sulphur, Louisiana is referred to as "the pride of Southwest Louisiana", drawing that slogan from citizens who take pride in their heritage, as well as the future of Sulphur.

Also known as the Gateway to the Creole Nature Trail All-American Road, Sulphur LA is a city that has seen considerable growth over the past few years.

There is a particular magic in the city of Sulphur, Louisiana, which offers its visitors a memorable and enjoyable stay. Recent host to the nation as the site for the Dixie Boys Super World Series, the city features world-class sporting facilities, delicious and authentic restaurants and exciting and beautiful points of interest.

Festivals such as Christmas Under the Oaks, Heritage Days Festival, and The 78 year-old Cal-Cam Fair draw visitors from throughout the state and the nation. Sulphur Mayor Ron Leleux says, "For anyone considering relocating to this wonderful and exciting city, you will soon learn what we all know ---- Sulphur is a great place to live, work and raise a family".

Mayor Ron LeLeux reminds citizens of Sulphur that census forms will be arriving in March. Required once every 10 years by the U.S. Constitution, the 2010 Census will count every man, woman, and child living in the United States.

Every year the federal government distributes more than $400 billion to tribal, state and local governments based on census data. But, a lack of participation can result in our city and state receiving less federal funding and less access to important services and resources thatn we might otherwise have received.

Census data is also used to reapportion seats in Congress and assure proper district representation in state and local governments. An accurate count will help ensure the people in this community are fairly represented in all levels of government.

During Census 2000, 69% of households in Sulphur returned their census forms by mail. Nationally, 72% did do as of the April 2000 cut-off. I believe we can do even better in 2010. That's why today, I am issuing a challenge to everyone in Sulphur to take 10 minutes to participate in the census by answering the 10 question census form. Together, we can create a better tomorrow for ourselves, our family and our community.
