Join us for the next Community Conversation on April 8 at 6 p.m. at Aurora West Allis Medical Center at 8901 W. Lincoln Ave in Conference Room A. This time we'll talk on the topic of Creating a Community for All Ages.

The survey was taken by those 45+ years old and covered a variety of important topics related to housing, transportation, employment, communication, civic participation and more. This is your chance to share ideas, connect with neighbors, and help shape a more inclusive, thriving West Allis for everyone!
