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. Outdoor Spaces

    Explore the feasibility of a new indoor recreation center, especially a location that can accommodate pickleball courts. Make accessibility upgrades to a local park.

  2. Outdoor Spaces

    Promote economic development through improvements to the downtown streetscape, including upgraded sidewalks, new pedestrian crosswalks and landscaping.

  3. Housing

    Identify ways to incentivize developers to construct multifamily housing.
