The February edition of Missouri Life magazine names Chesterfield a "Top Ten Town" in Missouri. Chesterfield was No. 2 on the list.
Towns with a population between 2,500 to 50,000 were considered for this designation. The first round of criteria for the designation was based on having favorable data in education, crime and employment statistics.
Next, an evaluation was made of a town's quality of life including amenities available to residents such as health care, restaurants, libraries, theaters, performing arts, parks, trails and religious denominations.
Also considered were attributes such as recycling programs, sales taxes, household income and air quality.
Acting Mayor Barry Flachsbart called the city "a top place to be and it's great to have an entity such as Missouri Life recognize us."
