Colorado again getting a lot of coverage for being a great place to live and again this yeah as a great place to do business. As a native i must say it is nice to get the deserved recognition but it is bitter sweet to see us #1 in growth because i don't want the secret to get out there too much and replace the great area with sprawl. It is one of the best places to live because we aren't HUGE yet.

This is great for me I do all of my business in No1, No3 and No7.
I feel the same way about Utah. I like growth for the economy but I don't want it to become overcrowded. And by the way, thanks for pointing those referrals out to me. I didn't know that that feature existed before.
No worries Nathan. Anything i can do to help.
Nice to see florida in there.... i would be curious about the city rankings. I read about a year ago that Tampa was the #1 place for corporate relocation.
