Several current community initiatives are targeted to older people and improving age-friendliness of the Town of Deerfield. A Complete Streets Policy and South Deerfield Center planning process are in beginning phases of development. The policy and plan are focused on development and implementation of projects occurring in the downtown center that are sensitive to the community’s physical, economic and social setting. This focus gives significant consideration to stakeholder and community values including goals related to livability with greater participation of those affected in order to gain consensus. The overall goal of this approach is to preserve and enhance scenic, aesthetic, historic, and environmental resources while improving or maintaining safety, mobility and infrastructure conditions. The Town of Deerfield recognizes users of various modes of transportation including pedestrians, motorists, cyclists and others including consideration for “All Users” including all ages and abilities. Goals for the downtown center include roadway and sidewalk improvements that relate to storefronts as well as improvements to the Town Common where community events and observances occur. Recently, the Town established a committee to review a number of Town buildings in order to assess priority of recognized needs including more desirable space for senior services. The Town is considering renovation or development within the complex that includes the existing Senior Center where activities occur 5 days a week and congregate meals are served 3 days a week; a large church that was recently adopted for town use and is adjacent to the existing senior center; Tilton Library, which is also located in the area and is undertaking an expansion project; and the Town Offices which house a variety of public services including the police department, voting, property assessment, tax collection, health inspection, town administration, and health services including weekly town nurse and monthly podiatrist clinics. The need for increased senior housing and transportation options are recognized by the Town, considering lacking present resources and the expectation of growth in our senior population.
