Resources for Seniors: I run a website called SeniorsMobility.org, which provides information for seniors to stay active, mobile, and independent.

I’ve recently published comprehensive guides that might be of interest to the residents of Forest Hills, including nearly two dozen guides on various types of mobility exercises for seniors (including free downloadable PDFs of the exercises).

You can see one of the exercise guides here: Best Mobility Exercises for Seniors

Here are the links to some of the resources:

Goal: To raise awareness about the litter issue and send a message to those who contribute to it. (And to get out and walk in our community and mingle with neighbors.)

A mixed-use development is in the works on the ETJ properties located behind the Village entrance sign adjacent to The Summit. These properties are not within the Village boundaries, but are within the Village ETJ (since it aligns the Village boundaries) so any development is required to meet the stipulations in the Village of Forest Hills Zoning Ordinance (the Zoning Ordinance can be found on the Ordinances & Maps tab, or a copy can be obtained from the Village Clerk.)
