Northampton is a small city, rich in services and commitments to the development of a vibrant and livable community for residents of all ages. As the Hampshire County seat, Northampton is the home for a number of county-wide programs and services all with a long history of collaboration and coordination. The vibrancy of Northampton is reflected in many past and current designations: Best Place to Retire, Best Arts Community, Healthy Motion Award, Bicycle-Friendly Community (Bronze), Pedestrian Friendly Community (Bronze), STAR Communities-five Star rating for Community Sustainability, Top 25 Arts Destinations, Great Cities for Simple Life (AARP), and Top Adventure Towns. There are a number of efforts underway that underscore the City’s commitment to be an inclusive Age Friendly community. To cite a few: Climate Resilience and Regeneration planning effort includes building social resilience with networks of how neighborhoods take care of all of their residents. A “pavement to parks” program, Main Street redesign effort, North King Street Roundabout, and recently completed Pleasant Street complete streets effort are all focused on ensuring that Northampton is more pedestrian and bicycle friendly, safe, and desirable. Development of a Rocky Hill Greenway with additional benches to be accessible for all ages and populations; creation of ValleyBike with pedal-assist bicycles to serve a larger demographic than traditional human-powered bicycles; planning a “complete streets on steroids” program for the eventual reconstruction of Main Street; participation in the Mass in Motion program addresses all ages and supports many of the Age Friendly goal. Many of the City’s current housing efforts address both market rate housing aim to expand housing options beyond only large single-family homes designed for families with children. The “Just Big Enough” effort, for seeks to make smaller units more acceptable, to serve those left out of the housing market and to serve those whose housing needs are not necessarily met by the traditional housing design. The City has a long-standing commitment to ensuring that City buildings and services are accessible and has been catalyst for many retail and private businesses doing the same. There are numerous programs and services for older adults in place, many sponsored or coordinated by the Northampton Senior Services Department. They include an enhanced and coordinated transportation system; the year-old EARN (Employment After Retirement Network) program; health and wellness support; outreach and referral services to name a few. A newly hired food and nutrition professional will enhance and expand nutrition-based programs and services. Our commitment to ensuring that Northampton is an Age Friendly Community is partnered with a commitment to ensure that all efforts and recommendations include a Dementia Friendly component as well. The Age Friendly Northampton planning will assess what is in place and determine priorities for filling gaps and enhancing current services and programs. An anticipated outcome will be an effective programs, activities, and services “navigation” and communications system, easily accessible by all.
