The Town of Pittsford has been named one of "America's Top 100 Places to live for 2009." RelocateAmerica.com, a Web site that provides

relocating consumers & area residents with access to local community resources, recently released its annual list recognizing Pittsford as one of only two communities in New York State to receive this distinction.

Relocate-America's editorial team reviews nominations and selects the TOP 100 cities based on interviews with local leaders, feedback from residents and economic, environmental, education, crime, employment and housing data for the past year.

"With the increasing concern on our nation's economy and recovering housing market we approached this year's list with a different lens than in previous years. We concentrated on the outlook for future growth & ability to rebound in the communities that we selected" said Steve Nickerson, president and CEO. "We looked at the local government & the business leadership in each community as we considered this year's winners. We selected communities with visionary leaders, improving or thriving economies including housing & realization of "green" initiatives.

Town Supervisor Bill Carpenter said, "We are pleased and honored to be named one of America's top 100 places to live for 2009. Along with our residents and community partners including the village, the school district and local business-owners, we strive for excellence and succeed in being an outstanding place to live, work and play."
