MONEY Magazine Agrees: Arnold is a Good Buy

Press Conference to be Held Today

(Arnold, Mo-July 14, 2008) Mayor Mark Powell will hold a press conference today at 3:00 p.m. at the Arnold Recreation Center, 1695 Missouri State Rd, to discuss the August issue of MONEY magazine, which has named Arnold, Missouri among the 25 Best Affordable Cities to Live in the United States. Arnold has been recognized at the 13th position on the 2008 ranking. MONEY magazine populates the listing by compiling data ranging from; access to affordable housing, parks and recreation services, cost-of-living, schools and ambiance.

Arnold’s ranking is an indication of the successful work the city has undertaken in the last decade. The City of Arnold has successfully worked to attract new developments and revitalize older ones. It has built and brought to the city the amenities its citizen’s wanted and deserve such as the Arnold Recreation Center, the Jefferson College, the Jefferson County Library and the Pomme Creek Golf Course. In addition, Arnold’s Tourism Board brings nationally known entertainers such as George Jones, Merle Haggard, Vince Gill and Three Dog Night to perform at the Rickman Auditorium in Arnold.

The evidence of this hard work by the city over the past several years has resonated in the proclamation of this notable distinction of being ranked 13th in the nation. “I have always believed Arnold was a great city and have constantly promoted my hometown as I have traveled the state,” proclaimed Mayor Mark Powell, mayor for more than seven years. “Arnold is a wonderful place to live, filled with great people, and that is what makes it so appealing, and our hard work has now been validated and recognized by an independent nationally recognized source, MONEY magazine,” Powell went on to say.

MONEY magazine has been ranking cities for the better part of the decade. The complete article about the 2008 rankings, a history of past winners and an explanation the selection process can be found on money.cnn.com.

While driving around Jefferson County the past couple of days, it is clear the water is on the rise. While driving south on 61-67, the bridge between Pevely and Hurkey has the water almost at the deck. This is the highest I have seen it on the bridge, and even higher than the last round of flooding. The water at Barnhart and 61-67 is also on the rise and nearer to the road than I have seen it. The question is, will 61-67 end up closing down due to high water before this is over?
