On Tuesday, U.S. News & World Report will release its 2023 rankings of the “Best Places to Live.” “It’s been a great year,' Huntsville Mayor Tommy Battle says.
Huntsville’s reign over the rest of the United States is, presumably, in its last day.
“Twenty years from now, we’ll be saying, ‘In 2022, we were the No. 1 city in the world,’” Mayor Tommy Battle said.“There’s a residual to the whole process,” Battle said. “Knowing that you are a No. 1 city, even if next year, it’s going to be somebody else’s turn. But we’ll still be landing in those top 10s teams of, you know, best place to retire, best place to start a new company best place to do this or that. All that is satisfying to you because it tells you that you’re doing the right thing.
“We’ve bounced around in the top 20 on the U.S. News and World Report Best Places to Live list for the past few years,” said Lucia Cape, senior vice president for economic development, industry relations and workforce at the Huntsville-Madison County Chamber of Commerce. “Huntsville was No. 7 in 2018, No. 11 in 2019, No. 15 in 2020, No. 3 in 2021 and No. 1 in 2022. And though being No. 1 is great, in the long run it’s more meaningful to be consistently among the best cities.
