Master of Public Affairs graduate students in the School of Planning & Public Affairs will design an age-friendly community initiative for the Granger, Iowa community. 

Communities across the state and country, especially in rural places, are experiencing rapid demographic shifts. Aging will be an increasingly important issue in Iowa, particularly over the next couple of decades as the baby boomer generation enters late stages of life.
