The Sioux City MSA was also recognized as the top community for populations under 200,000 in 2007, 2008, 2012, 2013, and 2015.

The Siouxland metro ranked second in both 2009 and 2014 and finished third in 2006.

Charese Yanney, a board member of the Siouxland Initiative, says the rankings stem from the cooperation of the tri-state cities that make up our Siouxland area:


OC……..each of the communities. :16

Yanney presented each community with an inscribed award commemorating the national recognition.
