The Daily Beast just published a list of America’s Smartest Cities, confirming what we here at W5 have know all along. Our hometown(s) – Raleigh-Durham (and Chapel Hill), North Carolina – are at the top of the list!
“Raleigh-Durham has just about every intangible useful in attracting and developing a smart populace: It’s a university hub, including two of the nation’s elite schools (Duke and the University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill), and those schools led to one of the nation’s great technology incubators (Research Triangle). On top of that, Raleigh, as the state’s capital, attracts engaged political minds, as well. “We are fortunate to have great universities in Raleigh-Durham and great ‘smart’ industries that enrich our community greatly,” Raleigh Mayor Charles Meeker told The Daily Beast. Enrichment enough to top our list.”
On behalf all of us at W5, a sincere congratulations to our friends and neighbors! You deserve it. Now back to work!
