From CNBC’s Jane Wells (full story):
I’m sitting on a bench in a town which aims to be Boomerville, USA. It’s not in Florida. Not in Arizona. It’s Oxford, Mississippi. I know, I thought the same thing.
But let me tell you, coming here has been one of the most pleasant surprises of my life. Oxford rocks! This small college town has been described as a “cosmopolitan Mayberry,” and I’m here to do a story on efforts by civic leaders to capture the attention of valuable boomer retirees (it’ll air May 16th). Their pitch: quality of life plus generous tax incentives. Those over 65 pay no income taxes on retirement income.
And in case you missed it, “Where To Retire” magazine recently named Tupelo one of the top retirement towns in the country (previous coverage).
