BusinessWeek: Warner Robins tops in Ga. for raising family

The acting mayor of Warner Robins, Clifford Holmes, says it’s only natural his middle Georgia community would be picked by BusinessWeek as Georgia’s top city for raising a family.

Holmes says the school system is second to none and has worked hard at attracting the best teachers. Holmes also credits Robins Air Force Base for creating a city where many can make a decent living.

The magazine chose Warner Robins, with a population of about 65,000, for its list of cities across the country considered the best, most affordable places for raising children. Athens and Marietta were runners-up in the issue that hit the streets Monday.

BusinessWeek top pick overall was Mount Prospect, Ill., a Chicago suburb of 56,000.
