Action Plan Download

An action plan is based on the results of community surveys identifying needs within the 8 Domains of Livability that influence the health and quality of life of older adults. While there is flexibility in how a plan is created and what it will do, every action plan includes a statement about what can be achieved, target dates for goal completion, identification of participating organizations and indicators to measure progress. The action plan is an "active" rather than static document. Revisions and amendments are a sign of program improvement and progress.

Action Plan Highlights

  1. Transportation

    Assess the feasibility of expanding public transit service through an analysis of current ridership data.

  2. Housing

    Revise local zoning ordinance to support the development of diverse, affordable housing options.

  3. Communication and Information

    Incorporate learnings about broadband internet availability into local comprehensive plans.
