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

    Improve the local sidewalk network by adding new sidewalks and trails and maintaining existing ones.

  2. Housing

    Adopt an inclusionary zoning ordinance that incentivizes developers to build affordable housing for older adults.

  3. Health and Community Services

    Support efforts to construct a new senior center to host health and wellness programming for older adult residents.
