More than two dozen communities have been named finalists for the National Civic League's 2010 All-America City Awards.

Finalists are Chandler, Ariz., Bentonville, Ark., Dublin, Lynwood, Rancho Cordova and the Vernon Central neighborhood, Calif., Miami Lakes and North Miami, Fla., Acworth, Ga., Belleville and Canton, Ill., Noblesville, Ind., Des Moines, Iowa, Lenexa and Scott County, Kan., Bowling Green, Ky., Salisbury, Md., Ferguson and Riverside, Mo., Lynbrook, N.Y., Gastonia, N.C., West Chester and Wyoming, Ohio, Mount Pleasant, S.C., El Paso, Texas, Abingdon, Va. and Middleton, Wis.
