Background Information:
The Age Friendly Pinellas Action Plan was developed with a great deal of thought and strategic planning. Internal and external community partners helped identify strategies that embody an age friendly community where individuals can live, work, play and thrive at all ages and abilities. Staff met with residents throughout Pinellas County at community events, focus groups and listening sessions to gather input. Each Pinellas County Department identified a “Champion” and prepared an Age Friendly plan which includes strategies for implementation.
The action plan provides a comprehensive document representing department specific actions for addressing the ten (10) domains of livability. The Resolution will allow the plan to be submitted to the AARP in alignment with Age Friendly Community designation. Staff will be presenting the Age Friendly Pinellas Plan at the Mayor’s Council Meeting on May 1st and the City Managers Meeting on May 3rd. The state of Florida has received the Age Friendly Designation and has joined the AARP Network of Age-Friendly Communities.
