On January 15, 2020, St. Joseph County was officially accepted into AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities. In doing so, the Board of Commissioners committed to working toward improving the quality of life for all residents, regardless of age. The county is now conducting a survey to gather community input on several key service areas: outdoor spaces and buildings, transportation, housing, social participation, respect and social inclusion, work and civic engagement, communication and information, and community and health services. Any county resident over the age of 45 can participate. The responses will assist community leaders identify areas that need improvement and develop a plan to address those areas.
