FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): Some national praise for the city of Fort Wayne, as a new study lists the Summit City as the best place in America to raise a family.

For City spokesman John Perlich, it’s just a confirmation of something city officials already knew:

“We continue to be encouraged by the national recognition we’ve been receiving for the positive momentum and investments we’ve been experiencing in Fort Wayne,” Perlich says. “To be number 1 in this area is certainly a great compliment to our community.”

The study says Fort Wayne’s high school graduation rate and low costs of living were its two strongest categories.
