Renewal levy to help Wood County Committee on Aging support seniors who want grow old at home

By JAN McLAUGHLIN BG Independent News State statistics show that one quarter of Wood County’s residents are now 60 years or older. That represents a shift in the population profile, and a growing need for services that offer support for seniors so they can remain independent, healthy and connected. To provide those services, the Wood County Committee on Aging is asking voters to support a renewal levy of 1-mill, lasting five years. “It’s an investment in supporting those older adults who supported us,” said WCCOA Executive Director Alisha Nenadovich.
