ORO VALLEY (Tucson News Now) - A Tucson neighbor to the north is getting good press for being family-friendly.
Bloomberg Businessweek names Oro Valley the best place to raise kids in Arizona, based on a study
entitled, "America's Best Places to Raise Kids 2013."
The magazine and Bloomberg
Rankings looked at 3,200 communities across the
United States, selecting one location in each state based on criteria such as
schools, public safety, income, employment and adults' educational levels.
"We're
very proud of this distinction," says Mayor Satish Hiremath in a press release. "Oro Valley is
already known throughout the region for its outstanding public safety and for
having some of the highest-performing schools in Southern Arizona. So it's nice
to see our community recognized at the national level as well."
