Help Shape Vista's Future: Take the Age-Friendly Plan Survey

We invite you to complete our online survey to help us design a plan that supports residents of all ages. Your feedback will be essential in guiding this important initiative.

In addition to the survey, a series of community roundtable meetings will be scheduled in the future, offering more opportunities to share your ideas.
