BDN covers Kaye’s speech about housing options for baby boomers
The Bangor Daily News quoted a speech by Len Kaye, director of the University of Maine Center on Aging, in the article, “Aging expert: Boomers will demand new housing options.” Kaye, who spoke at the Maine Affordable Housing Conference in Bangor, said the generation born between 1946 and 1964 is entering retirement age, and housing planners and developers should anticipate a wave of assertive baby boomers, according to the article. During his speech, Kaye said Maine is on track to be the state with the largest population of baby boomers by 2020, the article states. “The longevity revolution is upon us,” he said at the conference that attracted hundreds of housing and service providers, planners, builders, designers and lenders.
