Looking for a place to raise a family? Look no farther than the North Star State!

Kids-croppedLess than one month after financial news network CNBC named Minnesota the best state in which to do business, the Annie E. Casey Foundation last week ranked Minnesota as the best state state for child wellbeing.

The Foundation’s 2015 “Kids Count Data Book” ranks the 50 U.S. states for overall child wellbeing across a variety of key indicators, including economic wellbeing, education, health, and family and community. And this year, Minnesota is tops for kids, according to the report.

Site Selection, a news magazine publication covering development and corporate investment, recently featured Destination Medical Center and Minnesota’s push for sustained development in Rochester around Mayo Clinic.

The article targets an audience of investors and developers, who routinely seek out visionary and supportive communities. Reporter Adam Bruns caught up with what he called a “significant” delegation of representatives from Minnesota at last month’s BIO Convention in Philadelphia.

A week after Bio, those Minnesota delegates from Rochester had some top-shelf follow-up material, as CNBC named Minnesota No. 1 in its ninth annual list of America’s Top States for Business.
