 I'm Alicia Anderson and welcome to the Fort Report. Blue Zones Project Kickoff Event is on February 21st at the Will Rogers Memorial Center's Roundup Inn. Blue Zones Project is a community-wide well-being improvement initiative to help make healthy choices easier for everyone in Fort Worth. It basically is based on research done by Dan Butener, who's a National Geographic Researcher and Fellow who studied the world to find locations where people lived long, happy, healthy lives. And he found five areas, longevity hotspots, where people not only lived to be over a hundred, but they lived fulfilling happy lives. So we know that we as Americans can live with less chronic diseases and long, happy, prosperous lives. So it's basically creating policy changes across all sectors, schools, grocery stores, restaurants, worksites, and then community policy. Moving naturally is one of the elements for your well-being. So the Building Healthy Neighborhood workshops will show you how you can play a role in making sure your neighborhood is more walkable and livable for all users, ages, and abilities. We want to reach as many as our close to 800,000 residents as possible. And because we're 350 square miles, we split up our city into zip codes. And so what they will experience, and we encourage all residents to attend these workshops, is Dan Burton will conduct a walking audit around the actual venue. And then he will bring everyone back, and what he does in these walking audits is he teaches everyone to look at their community through a walkability lens. So it creates that community. And then we'll come back, and the neighborhoods will come together and look at their aerial of their neighborhood and identify the assets, identify safety concerns, connectivity, kind of dream and creative vision. So you're creating a vision for Fort Worth, but at the neighborhood level. And so they may identify some of the needs and wants that they would like to have for their neighborhood, and that will also hopefully help our city staff and our policy leaders in creating the list for the 2018 bond election or other funding opportunities that are out there. It's a great opportunity for people not only to come together as a neighborhood, but also to begin that dialogue, that conversation of what kind of not only Fort Worth do we want, but what kind of neighborhood and area that I live in and work in. So I would encourage everyone if they can to attend these workshops. Visit BlueZone's project website and sign up for your personal pledges. And don't forget to like them on the Facebook. Here's a look at other events happening in and around Fort Worth in the next few weeks. For more events and city meetings, you always can check the calendar at the city's website.
