EG Third-Best Community In RI, Says GoLocalProv

GoLocalProv loves East Greenwich. They like our schools and they like our town. The most recent example? Little old East Greenwich ranked third out of all the communities in the state in the "Best Communities 2013." Though, we did slip from second place last year. No explanation on that. 

Not surprisingly, we don't rank very well in the affordability category (34th out of 39). We rank 11th in arts and culture, though. That's pretty terrific for this non-urban place. And, say what you will about our level of debt, we scored 7th in the economic condition ranking (thank you high bond rating!).

What do you think makes our town great?
