City of Lee’s Summit Raising Awareness About What it Means to Be A Community for All Ages The First Suburbs Coalition (FSC) and the KC Communities for All Ages Initiative (KCC) developed the Communities for All Ages Recognition Program, to recognize communities that have taken steps to become a Community for All Ages.

To help the City of Lee’s Summit become an age-friendly community, the City needs help from the people who call Lee’s Summit home. You’re invited to take a few moments to complete a survey on the livability of our City, and provide your perspective on elements that make a city “age-friendly.” What does “age-friendly” mean? Simply put, it means any policy or action that accommodates the needs and interests of all ages.

The survey takes about 15-20 minutes to complete.

This survey is anonymous and ends on August 18. Visit cityofLS.net to provide your input and take the survey.
