Press Release ATLANTA, GA--(Marketwire - September 10, 2008) - Retire in Georgia magazine, a publication of Georgia Lifestyles Publishing, Inc., announces "The 10 Best Places to Retire in Georgia." Retire in Georgia received nominations from cities and counties spanning the entire state. The editorial staff compared criteria such as climate, travel and tourism assets, technology infrastructure, cost of living, healthcare infrastructure, housing, population dynamics, community commitment, state and local parks systems and lifelong learning opportunities when making their decision. Each community is profiled in the Fall/Winter issue of Retire in Georgia magazine, which will be available online in late September at www.retireingeorgia.com. "Narrowing our list to only 10 was difficult, given all the great communities that were nominated," said Rick Duke, co-founder and editor of Retire in Georgia. "We are lucky to live in a state with such diverse options. The recipients of this year's awards are not ranked, but rather they stand together as a representation of the rural, urban and mountain communities that draw retirees to Georgia. This wide spectrum of options adds to Georgia's appeal as a retirement destination for everyone." The 10 Best Places to Retire in Georgia are:
-- City of Decatur (DeKalb County)
-- Peachtree City (Fayette County)
-- Blairsville-Union County
-- Cobb County
-- Dublin-Laurens County
-- Georgia's Lake Country (Morgan, Greene, Putnam and Baldwin Counties)
-- City of Perry (Houston County)
-- Augusta and the Clarks Hill Lake Region (Warren, Wilkes, Washington, Lincoln, McDuffie and Columbia Counties)
-- Dalton-Whitfield County
-- Moultrie-Colquitt County
