EASTON, MA — Easton officials are working with Boston University students to collect and analyze results of a survey aimed at finding ways to fit the needs of an aging population in town. Feedback from Easton residents over 50 years old is sought.
The survey can be found here. Officials ask that those eligible fill out the survey as soon as possible, and no later than Friday. Those who have completed the survey by mail, or have already done it online, are asked not to take it a second time.
Survey responses are confidential and will be included in the summary data of the final report. The report will be placed on the town's website at a later date. Participation is voluntary, and greatly appreciated.

Those with questions about the survey are asked to contact Kristin Kennedy, Easton Director of Health and Community Services, at 508-230-0690 or [email protected].
The ultimate goal of the program is that Easton is better equipped to be a community inwhich people participate in activities, are connected to their neighbors, remain healthy and active, and feel they belong — no matter their age.
