Milbank Joins AARP's Age-Friendly Communities Network

Milbank, a town of more than 3,000 residents in northeastern South Dakota, has joined Sioux Falls as the second municipality in South Dakota to become a part of AARP’s Network of Age-Friendly States and Communities.

Milbank’s leaders are committing to improving livability for residents of all ages. Officials are doing an assessment of needs and then developing a five-year plan.

Well-designed, livable communities can sustain economic growth and make for healthier, happier residents of every age. More than 435 communities, six states and one territory belong to the network.
