Derby was designated as a “Best Place to Retire” in a recent report by U.S. News and World Report.
“It stands to reason that if we’re one of the best places to live that we are also one of the best places to retire,” said Derby Mayor Dion Avello. “It’s representative of the people of Derby and our values.”
