LiveWell Lawrence’s Community Plan

To improve the health of our community, we must act together to:

  1. Make healthy foods more available and unhealthy foods less available in public venues such as schools, child care centers and city and county buildings.
  2. Encourage county residents to produce and consume more local foods, and expand the number of places where local foods are available.
  3. Offer all children 30 minutes of quality physical activity during school hours, and 30 additional minutes outside of school hours.
  4. Design all streets with safe access for all users: walkers, bicyclists, wheeled-device users, transit riders and drivers.

The plan’s ultimate goal is to reduce chronic diseases linked to poor eating and sedentary lifestyles.
