By the year 2030, roughly one in three San Mateo County residents will be age 65 or older. How can the community prepare?

You’re invited to help develop the answer. This Friday, May 30th at the San Mateo County Events Center, seniors, planners, elected officials and anyone else with an interest in this important topic is invited to a summit: Livable Communities for Successful Aging.

The purpose is to allow members of the community to identify characteristics of developments that will be attractive to residents as they age and remain in San Mateo County. The forum is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. (doors open at 8:30 a.m.) at the Event Center, 2495 S. Delaware St., San Mateo.

The forum is sponsored by the County of San Mateo, the San Mateo County Association of Realtors and Samtrans. To register or for more information, visit http://www.co.sanmateo.ca.us/successfulaging or call (650) 363-4526.
