The first Baby Boomers began turning 65 in 2011. By 2029 when all Boomers have turned 65, this generation will make up more than 20 percent of the total U.S. population. After reflecting on this changing demographic, it was clear to the Lafayette Senior Services Department that their customer base spanned two distinct and different generations—those born before 1946 and those born after. Providing the right kind of service to each would be increasingly important. It was from this clarity that the City moved to rebrand the department and its services to the Lafayette GO! Services (Grown-Up Opportunities) to provide interest-specific activities and services for both generations served.
