Link to November 1 Sheboygan Press article, "Officials: Forbes ranking of Manitowoc as No. 2 small city to raise a family is beneficial".
Excerpt: The 126 cities that met the criteria then were ranked on commute time, percentage of adults age 25 and older who had at least a high school degree, median household income, the rate of home ownership and housing affordability. The report was released Oct. 25.
"This goes to show that we have a quality education structure — both public and private, K-12, University of Wisconsin-Manitowoc, (Lakeshore Technical College) and Silver Lake College — a pro-business attitude, a very clean and safe community with opportunities for families to improve their overall quality of life," said Mayor Justin Nickels.
Not to mention a great public library!
