Vermont Business Magazine The Age Strong VT Final Plan, which has been revised following public comment last fall, is now published and available for review on the SVCOA website homepage. This plan is a comprehensive, multi-sector roadmap designed for the next decade to transform Vermont into an age-friendly state.
It has been led by the Department of Disabilities, Aging & Independent Living (DAIL) and the Department of Health, collaborating with a wide-ranging stakeholder committee. The plan sets forth ambitious objectives and strategies to enhance affordability, health and well-being, social connection, support systems, housing, transportation, community design, support for family care partners, and elder justice.
Age Strong VT is the shared vision for addressing the challenges and opportunities presented by our state's changing demographics with innovation and resilience.
To further promote awareness and support for this vital initiative among lawmakers and the wider community, there will be a reading of the Age Strong VT Resolution at the Statehouse in Montpelier on Thursday, February 22nd.
Age Strong VT: "Your partnership and dedication to meeting the needs of Vermonters, particularly during these challenging times, are immensely appreciated. The Age Strong VT plan is a testament to what we can achieve together, and your continued support is crucial to its success."
