The Las Cruces City Council passed a resolution in support of city AARP network membership and cemented 2021 legislative priorities during Monday’s meeting.
The city of Las Cruces is seeking to join the AARP Age-Friendly Network of States and Communities, following a unanimous vote by all present city council members. According to AARP Las Cruces Chapter President Dave Lynch, joining the network will showcase the city’s commitment to building a livable community for residents of all ages.
“There s a real enhancement by having this label as a community, designated as a member. We have a lot of retirees coming in. This is something that I believe that they will look for,” Lynch said. “What else does it get us? There was a comment about grants. We received two of the three grants from AARP…We re also getting a free of cost fit park in Las Cruces, from AARP. These are things that will help us get more out of this as we go forward with a network.”
