Colrain Renewed as a Member of The AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities
After a 3-year planning process, the Franklin County & North Quabbin Age-Friendly project has completed Phase 2: Needs & Assessment & Action Planning
Through the help of Lifepath and Franklin Regional Council of Governments (FRCOG) the Age- and Dementia-Friendly Franklin County and North Quabbin Regional Action Plan for 2024-2028 has been completed (see below). Colrain has also been certified as a member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities.
An age-friendly community is a place that makes it easy for older people to stay connected to people that are important to them. And it helps people stay healthy and active even at the oldest of ages and provides appropriate support to those who need it.
As our population ages, it will be increasingly important to make decisions at the town level that take this demographic shift into account. This plan provides an evidence-informed roadmap for communities in our area to become more age- and dementia-friendly. It offers specific action steps that towns can take as well as collaborative projects that are already underway.
