The Juneau Economic Development Council provides support to the commission and spearheaded the survey and digested its findings.
Executive Director Brian Holst said Juneau s senior population has grown over the years. In 2009 14 percent of Juneau s population was over 60. It s now reached 21 percent and he expects that in five more years it will reach 24 or 25 percent. So the role of seniors in our community is becoming ever more important economically as the years pass, Holst said.
