The city is partnering with Boulder County Area Agency on Aging (BCAAA) to host a series of community conversations in Boulder as a way for older adults and family caregivers to inform both city and county planning processes and help address the opportunities and challenges of a rapidly increasing older adult population. Between 2023 and 2050, Boulder County is projected to see a 22% increase in adults ages 60–79 and a remarkable 202% increase in adults 80 and older.
Feedback collected as part of these Community Conversations will be used to help shape the city’s Age-Inclusive Community Strategic Plan. The plan is an opportunity to acknowledge the contributions made by older adults in our community including participation in the workforce, volunteerism, caregiving, intergenerational exchange and their contributions to the local economy as consumers and investors. It will also provide a look at the challenges for successful aging in community including living on a fixed-income, housing, transportation, ageism, healthcare and long-term needs.
