SPRING HILL, Tenn. (WTVF) — Spring Hill is conducting a special census to get an up-to-date population count for the city.

Since the last census in 2020, the city is estimated to have increased in population by around 10,000 people, according to their website. They say this could earn the city an additional $2 million in funding.

They hope to put some of the funding towards hiring additional firefighters and public safety staff, street maintenance and infrastructure improvements.

As of 3 days ago, only 18% of the population completed the census. If you have not completed it, you can fill out the information form online. They are also regularly updating their Facebook with more information.

Santa Train stops feel especially impactful in wake of Hurricane Helene

There are still so many families in East Tennessee hurting following the floods from Hurricane Helene in September. That made this year's running of the Santa Train extra special for many families in the northeast part of the state. This special Santa Express has been making an annual run in part of Appalachia for over 80 years.
