Age-friendly town
New Gloucester has been accepted as a member of the AARP Age-Friendly Network. It sent a letter of interest to join the network in early April and recently received a certificate as an age-friendly community.
The letter included a commitment that the Economic Development Committee would lead a base assessment of the community’s age accessibility with a town-wide survey. The committee will then create a community action plan with this feedback.
“New Gloucester recognizes the importance of promoting age-friendly planning and policies to address changing demographics in our community and to make our town a lifelong livable community for all ages,” the Select Board wrote.
