Meridian, ID is among the Top 10 Towns for Families, featured in Family Circle's August 2010 issue

As shared by Mayor Tammy de Weerd, "...This is a great recognition for our community and I’m extremely grateful for your contributions and your continued role in shaping our vibrant city and its related successes.  Our community partners range from Neighborhood Watch enthusiasts to our active civic organizations; to our diverse faith communities and our entrepreneurial spirit and corporate citizenship; to our youth organizations and the many patrons that support our amazing and progressive education partners.
