Smithfield, Utah was voted the Best Place to Raise Kids in Utah by Bloomberg Businessweek. Their 6th annual report of best places said that Smithfield had “good schools, plentiful parks, and many fun events throughout the year.”

Mayor Darrell Simmons said he first heard about the “Best of” ranking on the 5 o’clock news. “It had a lot to do with education, parks, activities,” said Simmons. “It had a lot to do with everybody working together. It was a nice recognition.”
