ST. PAUL, MN - Governor Tim Walz today celebrated the news that Minnesota was ranked a top-five state to retire by a Motley Fool study. States were ranked on factors including quality of life, affordable housing, safety, health care, and cost of living.
“Americans deserve to retire with support and security, and that’s what we’re doing here in Minnesota,” said Governor Walz. “By cutting social security taxes, funding services that keep Minnesotans in their homes as they age, and investing in safe communities across the state, we’ve made Minnesota one of the best places to retire. I’m proud to see this accomplishment reflected in data.”
Last month, Governor Walz announced over $6 million in new state grants to keep Minnesotans in their homes as they age. The grants fund services such as retrofitting residences to make them age-friendly and providing support for caregivers.
This ranking comes as Minnesota was recently name a top state for children and for finding a job.
