Project Summary/Issues
In 2014, the City of Apple Valley partnered with a team of experts to help define the attributes of a
"Community for A Lifetime". It became a strategy called Vitalocity!, and was the subject of a 3-
day workshop held September 30 — October 2, 2014. Vitalocity! is an effort led by the private
market to better incorporate aging-friendly principles into communities' social, economic, and
physical infrastructure. Though other cities have created strategies for aging-friendly cities, Apple
Valley is the pilot city for the Vitalocity! initiative. The initiative is led by a partnership consisting
of the City in conjunction with several corporate and non-profit leaders in the field of aging. The
following team members are slated to attend the joint work session:
The 2014workshop, which was open to residents and businesses, was designed to help develop a
"roadmap" that could be incorporated into the City's 2040 Comprehensive Guide Plan, which will
be completed in 2018. Participants in the workshop identified four main areas of focus that were
further broken into nine themes common to aging-friendly communities. The themes include:
• Outdoor Spaces and Buildings
• Communication and Information
• Civic Participation and Employment
Community Support and Health Services
