Join conversation on services for the aging

By Karen Huppertz

The Atlanta Regional Commission will sponsor a “Community Conversation: Creating a Regional Strategic Plan for Aging Services” 2 to 4 p.m. Monday, Nov. 10 at the Community Foundation for NE Georgia, 6500 Sugarloaf Parkway in Duluth.

The number of seniors in metro Atlanta will continue to grow while funding for services remains stagnant or declines. The strategic plan hopes to prioritize aging services within the Atlanta area for the next five years.
