The city of Denton was recently recognized by the U.S. Census Bureau as the tenth fastest growing city in America. Additionally, several local cities including Watauga, Euless, Frisco, Denton, and Lewisville made Money magazine's list of best places to live. Watauga ranks as the number two city in the nation for affordable housing and the other communities are mentioned as part of the Top 100 best small cities in the country.

Texas Gains Another Top Ranking for Business
The Lone Star State is the best place for doing business, according to CNBC's ranking of America's Top States to do Business-2008. Economic conditions, quality of life, transportation, and cost of living were part of the criteria used to determine state rankings.

As a business owner, I am proud to live in a state that values the free market.
