Appleton Listed in Top 100 Places in US to Live


New North City Recognized by Relocate America


APPLETON, May 16, 2008 – The New North Community of Appleton was named among Relocate


America’s 2008 list of the 100 Top Places to Live in the United States.


“It’s no surprise that the New North is home to some of the best communities in the country for people to


raise a family,” said Jerry Murphy, Executive Director of the New North, Inc. “The New North boasts


great schools, a growing economy and some of the safest cities in the country.”


Appleton was one of only two Wisconsin cities to earn the distinction of being among the top 100 places


in the United States to live. Relocate America accepts nominations throughout the year from cities and


towns that are considered great places to live. The nominations are examined by an editorial board


which closely examines the nominees based on education, employment, economy, crime, parks,


recreation and housing in that community.


Relocate America specifically noted Appleton’s growing economy in listing it as a top place to live in the


United States. Appleton has everything that individuals can want in a community, from great public


schools to recreational sports and entertainment.


“We are proud that Appleton has earned this important honor. As New North communities, like Appleton,


continue to receive the recognition they deserve for safety, education, and quality of life, more and more


people will discover why the New North is one of the greatest places in the country to live, do business,


and raise a family,” Murphy said.
