What:
The City of Columbus
and the Mid-Ohio Regional Planning Commission (MORPC) announce the release of
the Age-Friendly Columbus Strategic Plan. Earlier this year, Age-Friendly Columbus
released the results of its survey to residents 50 years of age and older. The
survey addressed transportation, health, housing, social interactions, outdoor
spaces, safety, nutrition, wellness and more. Additional research, fieldwork,
and outreach also were used to assess the age-friendliness of the City of
Columbus.
The
assessment, findings and recommendations will be released in the Age-Friendly
Columbus Strategic Plan. The Strategic Plan will provide recommendations on how
Columbus can become a first-class age-friendly City.
Age-Friendly
Columbus is funded through The Osteopathic Heritage Foundation, Central Ohio
Area Agency on Aging, Franklin County Office on Aging, The Columbus Foundation,
AARP Ohio, and National Church Residences.
