Aging woes loom over Lawrence County seniors in peak political year
The Lawrence County area has 11,700 residents aged 65 plus and 25,433 between 45 and 64.

Local city programs in New Castle provide housing and transit options, but taxes and fixed incomes persist. The issue sits within a 20.5 million national aging bloc poised to influence next year's election as parties vie for support with aging policies.
