The town of Princeton has been designated an “age friendly community” by the World Health Organization, according to an announcement made at the Princeton Senior Resource Center fall gala.
The designation was awarded by the WHO in July, making the town the first community in New Jersey to be awarded the designation. The town will join the worldwide WHO Network of Age Friendly Communities.
The town applied for the designation with the help of the Princeton University Volunteer Consulting Initiative, made up of University graduate students who provide advice to local organizations.
Mayor Liz Lempert said the designation was a testament to all the work the PSRC does for the senior citizens living in the town. The next step for the town is to form a task force made up of various members of the community to examine what the town can do to further improve the senior citizens’ quality of life.
The designation will be reevaluated after two years, then again in five years.
