Sky-Hi News is launching a four-part series dedicated to exploring the successes and challenges of aging in the mountainous regions of Colorado. The initiative, known as the Longevity Project, invites community members to share their personal experiences, contributing to a comprehensive view of the public health issues faced by seniors in Grand County.
The series aims to gather insights from residents connected to the mountain communities, which will enhance reporting on local aging experiences. According to Sky-Hi News, the project will culminate in a free event on March 31, 2024, at Sun Outdoors in Granby. This event will feature a panel discussion with leading experts who will address common challenges related to aging in the High Country.
