I stand corrected on the release date for the PL file -sorry to have
added confusion instead of information to the discussion.
We will pursue the pdfs for tracts and BGs. Thanks for the tip.

Wrong. The PL file is due by the end of March. Only the apportionment
of Congress by state is due by the end of the decennial year.
I have a CD with my approved tract/BG boundaries (for southeast
Michigan) -- the Detroit regional office sent it to me. I'd think the
Kansas City office could do the same for you, especially if you
coordinated the tract/bg revisions. However, I don't think this is
shapefilesl -- just .pdf maps.

The PL 94-171 data used for redistricting has, in the past anyway, had
to be released by block by the end of the decennial year. One would
hope that if they are tabulating the data by block, the shapefiles that
define those blocks would be available sometime earlier. I don't
remember when this occurred in 2000, though, and haven't seen a schedule
for TIGER releases. Has anyone else? We've had requests from our member
governments to know what their final, approved 2010 tract and block
group boundaries are as soon as possible.

Census will still be working on the 2010 Census Block boundary shape
files for a while. I believe they will not be released by Census until
spring 2011, when the block data itself is first released for
redistricting purposes.

Penelope-we will review the document you sent and get back to you with
comments- however, I know now it would be helpful to us if we could have
a shape file of the 2010 census block boundaries. We will need to review
our TAZ structure and would like to be able to see how the block
geography has changed before doing that if possible. Are you able to
help us or provide some direction?

Hi All,
The Census Bureau asked us to refine this document to help them with
their software development effort. There was a three step process and
this is step two. Step three will be the formal version of the attached
memo, due to Census Bureau in early 2010. At this time we are seeking
input on this memo for the formal version. Please reply directly to me
with your comments.
Please reply by January 8th, 2010
Thanks!

It's just as bad to not make a plan as to blindly follow the one you
already have.
