Livable Communities of Oneida County

Promoting age-friendly planning and policies in Oneida County, NY

Who We Are

Livable Communities of Oneida County is an initiative of Oneida County, NY, the Community Foundation of Herkimer and Oneida Counties, and 50 Forward Mohawk Valley. We collaborate with community partners and programs throughout the county to promote age-friendly planning and policies that enable residents of all ages and abilities to lead healthy, active, and engaged lives.

Age-Friendly Community

Oneida County, NY, is a recognized member of the AARP Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities, an independent affiliate of the World Health Organization Network of Age-Friendly Cities and Communities.

The United States is rapidly aging, with 1 in 3 Americans now 50 or older. Building an age-friendly Oneida County is more important than ever.
