Ohio Magazine…
Greenville one of best places to live 

Greenville is recognized as one of Ohio’s BEST Hometowns in Ohio Magazine’s seventh annual Ohio’s Best Hometowns issue. 

Ohio Magazine recognizes five great places to live, work and visit. 

(CLEVELAND, OH –August 30, 2012) —In the November issue of Ohio Magazine, Greenville will be recognized as one of five BEST hometowns in the publication’s seventh annual Ohio’s Best Hometowns issue.  

Ohio Magazine editors selected Greenville because it embodies all of the qualities and characteristics that make Ohio hometowns so special: family-friendly events, inviting green spaces, a variety of shops and restaurants as well as an amazing sense of community. 

Greenville's amenities create a big-city feel combined with a welcoming small-town atmosphere. Bustling downtown shops and restaurants, beautiful parks, rich history and attractive neighborhoods create the type of place that residents are proud to call "home." 

In this special collector’s issue, Ohio Magazine also recognizes four other communities as 2012-2013 Ohio’s Best Hometowns:  Findlay, Gallipolis, Grove City and Peninsula.  The issue will hit the newsstand on October 23, 2012.  

To determine the honorees, Ohio Magazine solicited nominations and conducted site visits across the state. The editors evaluated the nominees in six categories — Community Spirit, Education, Entertainment, Health and Safety, Business Environment and Culture and Heritage — to help finalize their selections. 

Each of the Ohio Magazine’s Best Hometowns will be featured in the November, January and July issues of Ohio Magazine, showing readers unique places to visit and ways to enjoy each location. The Best Hometowns are encouraged to mark this special honor with celebrations throughout the year. 

Ohio Magazine’s seventh annual Ohio’s Best Hometown honor marks the success of these five communities in these categories.
