The U.S. Census Bureau has appointed a slate of managers for a new 2010 Census office in Murfreesboro at 833 Memorial Blvd., Suite E, in Carpenter Village Shops.
The new managers, all area residents, are:

· Richard Jones, assistant manager for field operations;
· Kristin Kilpatrick, assistant manager for quality assurance;

The Murfreesboro office will support census operations in 11 counties: Cannon, DeKalb, Macon, Robertson, Rutherford, Smith, Sumner, Trousdale, Warren, Williamson and Wilson.
