New North communities continue to show up on national "top places to live" lists. Most recently, two #NortheastWisconsin cities were recognized in the top ten of SmartAsset's Most Livable Small Cities in the U.S. list - Appleton and Oshkosh. The study compared 281 cities with a population of 65,000 to 100,000, while considering features like housing affordability, business offerings, financial standing, unemployment levels, average commute times and entertainment options. Our region also benefits from the ongoing support and investment in the quality of life in our region to strengthen the long-term vitality and steady growth that we continue to see. https://lnkd.in/gRYaw4Ba #talentattraction #qualityoflife #bestplacetolive #newnorthproud
