All of us in the Midwest know it's a great place to live and raise a family, and Money Magazine agrees! This year Money Magazine's 2007 Top 10 "Best Places to Live" List included my own hometown of Papillion, NE. (Papillion also made the list in 2005.)Our Sister City, Omaha, NE, has also made the list. Last year Omaha ranked #7 on the "10 Best Cities List" . http://money.cnn.com/magazines/moneymag/bplive/2006/snapshots/PL3137000.html

A small suburb about 12 miles from downtown Omaha, Papillion has grown and prospered along with the city, an increasingly important center of finance and insurance. Though Papillion's population is on the rise, its draws remain the same: low crime, good schools and a vast expanse of parkland. Recently, Papillion has spent more than half a million dollars renovating the historic downtown, putting in new sidewalks, faux-antique street lighting and ironwork accents.
Permits were issued for more than 300 new homes last year, but town leaders insist that they won't let the tide of development turn Papillion into a sea of subdivisions and strip malls.
