MAURICE — There has been no secret that the village of Maurice would eventually become a town.
Unofficial data from the 2020 U.S. Census showed Maurice with a population of 2,118, more than enough to climb the classification ladder. However, a process that figured to be finalized a year ago remained ongoing.
