Action Plan Download
Maple Grove developed its action plan in collaboration with a large group of stakeholders, partnering with city department heads and other key staff to discuss the work of each department through an age-friendly lens. The plan reflects the need to balance reasonable, shorter-term strategies and thoughtful, longer-term strategies. As a result, the action plan commits to incorporating dementia-friendly park features and exercise equipment in parks; expanding pedestrian safety and accessibility; integrating age-friendly priorities in the planning process for housing; and improving nutrition efforts for older adults.
