Saline Area residents and business people are celebrating today the fact that Saline has been named to CNN Money Magazine's annual list of "Best Places to Live:  Saline is ranked #59 on their "Top 100 in the United States" list.  The tally represents extensive demographic research that examines areas like financial performance, housing, education, quality of life, leisure and culture, and health.  See a complete list of their choices at this website.

Saline is located in the heart of Washtenaw County in Southeast Michigan and is one of three communities in the State to make the list.  The other two were Plymouth Township and Farmington.  This is the second time Saline has made the list, the last time being in 2005.

The Saline Area Chamber of Commerce is planning an award presentation honoring this outstanding recognition and accomplishment.  "Considering the study looks at tens of thousands of communities in the United States, the list is narrowed down to 3,500, and then the final cut is made down to a scant 100, making the list is a real honor", said Larry Osterling, Executive Director of the Saline Area Chamber of Commerce.  "Everyone who calls Saline Home can take pride in their contribution and that includes our folks in the surrounding areas of Pittsfield, Lodi, York, Bridgewater, and Saline Townships.  We have some really terrific small towns in Washtenaw County and it's great to see this type of recognition come our way."
