AARP Vermont recently released findings from an April 2025 survey conducted by ANR Market Research of Burlington adults aged 45 and older. The results reveal a community deeply committed to staying put—81% want to remain in Burlington as they age—yet face mounting challenges that could push them out. High property taxes, rising utility bills, aging housing stock, and limited mobility options are making it harder for residents to maintain their independence and stay in the neighborhoods they call home.
AARP has awarded Community Challenge grants totaling nearly $45,000 to five Vermont organizations, as part of a national program to promote livability.
Are you a regular biker, an occasional rider or thinking about breaking out the old two-wheeler? In a recent survey released by AARP, older cyclists reflect on their bicycling preferences and experiences and reveal trends among the 50+ population. Many consider cycling to be a staple of their lives and can't envision ever not being able to ride a bike
Here's all the scoop on how to vote in VT this year,,,and stay safe!
Communities across Vermont are working each and every day to become more livable for residents of all ages.
AARP Vermont has selected seven small organizations with big plans to receive Community Action Grants in support of their efforts to make their communities more livable as they respond to the many impacts of COVID-19. This year’s awards totaling some $10,000 are focused on a wide range of projects to enhance the community and promote livability. The initiative is part of an AARP Vermont program aimed at preparing Vermont cities and towns for the rapidly aging demographic shift that recognize the assets and opportunities in the areas of housing, mobility and community engagement.
Join AARP members and others for a discussion of the new composting regs and community gardening as it happens down at the Burlington Intervale. Presenters Ron Krupp and Fred Schmidt garden together at the Tommy Thompson Community Garden located in the Intervale. Both are lifelong gardeners: Ron's written several books on gardening and will be glad to share and answer questions. Fred began serious gardening in 1963 as a Peace Corps volunteer teaching agricultural diversification on a rubber plantation in Malaysia. They have volunteer as garden site coordinators at the Intervale for many years.
