Retire in Fayetteville

According to a press release from the city of Fayetteville, Where to Retire magazine, has selected Fayetteville to profile as a top retirement spot in its March/April 2006 issue. I never knew there was a magazine just for promoting places to retire. Within the next 5 to 10 years there are going to be a lot of people retiring so I suppose it makes sense.

Mayor Dan Coody said "Any time we receive national recognition like this it reinforces what those of us in Fayetteville already know - this is wonderful place to live. Where to Retire selected Fayetteville because of the high quality of life our citizens enjoy, and we are fortunate to have so many amenities and assets that are attractive to folks looking to relocate."

The editor, Mary Lu Abbot, noted that Fayetteville has many of the qualities that are important to today's retirees. "Home to the University of Arkansas, Fayetteville enjoys amenities such as collegiate-level sports, opportunities for continued education and a lively cultural scene. The Walton Arts Center presents exhibits, musical and is home to the North Arkansas Symphony Orchestra. Among other attractions, great medical facilities, a new library and bountiful natural beauty help draw retirees to this scenic city in the hills of the Ozarks," Abbot said.

Welcome y'all to Fayetteville!
