Thirty-two communities were chosen as finalists for the All-America City Awards. The finalists are drawn from 19 states, representing small towns with fewer than 50,000 people and large metropolitan areas with populations over 500,000. Ten finalists represent coalitions involving multiple jurisdictions, including two that stretch across state lines. One finalist represents an entire state: Arizona. Big things are sure to come from these communities.
