GOING BLUE FOR THE HEALTH OF IT
 Sioux City is working to become a healthier community! The City was recently invited to submit an application to the Blue Zones Project to be considered as a potential Blue Zones Demonstration site. Blue Zones are areas in the world where people live longer, healthier lives. Demonstration sites are communities where Blue Zones principles will be applied with the assistance of national experts and will serve as models to other locations within the state.
