(RECAP: Members of the recently-formed Charlottesville Area Alliance have made it their mission to make the Charlottesville region the most age-friendly community in the country. The alliance has questioned both the Charlottesville City Council and the Albemarle County Board of Supervisors to sign the World Health Organization’s commitment to being an age-friendly community. According to Jefferson Area Board for Aging’s CEO Marta Keane, in approximately eight years, 25 percent of the population in the Jefferson plotting district will be 65 years ancient or older. JABA is just one of the 13 local organizations that have come together to form the Charlottesville Area Alliance. The alliance’s goal is to make the region the most age-friendly community in the country.)
