Livable Communities

When Tanya Johnson was promoted by the new Casper City Manager, Carter Napier this year, she had a few request, but one that was very important to AARP - not to be removed from the Age Friendly Casper program. During Tuesday night’s Volunteer Recognition Dinner in Casper, AARP Wyoming honored Johnson with its Community Partner Award for her work in Casper.

AARP Wyoming announced two winners for the AARP Community Challenge, aiming to create change and improve quality of life at the community-level. The winning projects include projects in Casper as well as Jackson. Both grants will be used to fund age-friendly bus stops in their respective communities.

AARP Wyoming is working with elected officials in Casper to help it become the first city in the state to join the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities.
