What would it take to make Kingsport a more livable community, one that allows residents of all ages and abilities to live comfortably and safely in their neighborhoods? AARP wants to know and share the findings with community leaders.

Read a story in the Kingsport Times-News about the survey, which has been mailed to some 3,000 AARP members. Other residents of the Greater Kingsport Area can pick up copies at the library from 3 p.m. to 6 p.m. on Oct. 29 or download a copy here.

“The information will be a part of the public domain. We hope to have a huge kickoff and share it with everyone,” said AARP Tennessee President Margot Seay. “A lot of times, people really don’t give thought to future planning and how comfortably they can age in a community. This is a program to create awareness of the need to make our community, lives and houses more livable by focusing on that before we actually have the need.

“It’s exciting and even more exciting what will come out of it,” said Seay, a Kingsport resident and key supporter of the community survey.
