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 dont 
remember when this occurred in 2000, though, and 
havent seen a schedule for TIGER releases. Has 
anyone else? Weve 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.
