Fairfax County, Unleash the Power of Aging: Register Now for a Community Forum on Creating a Livable Community!

Citing the enormous amount of volunteering and community engagement older adults perform, the Fairfax County Board of Supervisors proclaimed May as Older Americans Month and endorsed the nationwide theme, Unleash the Power of Aging!, at its April 29 meeting.

The board and the Fairfax Area Commission on Aging now hope to tap this energy to create a more livable community for its older residents.

This summer, they are hosting community forums throughout the county to hear what residents have to say. The three focus areas include housing and transportation; easy access to services; and healthy lifestyles and community engagement.

Once the forums are completed, a new Fairfax 50+ Action Plan will be developed.
