American families are eligible to receive thousands of dollars for free as long as they’re willing to move off the beaten path.
Dozens of towns in states like Indiana, Kentucky, and Mississippi are luring in Americans sick of the soaring cost of living in big American cities with cash bribes, Fortune reports.
Chris Jensen, the mayor of Noblesville Indiana, says there is a growing demand for affordability, safety, and walkability, things that many feel are disappearing from the metropolitan areas.
“There’s something about Midwest value, there’s something about community that we have here, and I think we should sell it.”
Noblesville is welcoming new residents with a $5,000 relocation grant, an annual membership to the town’s coworking space and chamber of commerce, plus a $500 health and wellness stipend.
Other localities in Indiana have more original pitches for potential residents. New Haven, Indiana is inviting new arrivals to a burger-and-bourbon date with the town’s mayor, while Wabash County is organizing rafting trips with neighbors.
MakeMyMove, a company that offers incentives for remote workers to relocate – such as free cash or land – says there’s now a huge demand to leave cities in favor of the smaller, more affordable towns.
Says MakeMyMove co-founder and chief operating officer Evan Hock,
“We’re seeing workers voting with their feet to places like Indiana and Kentucky.. For community leaders, this is open season. With a little bit of effort, they can attract the people and income whose economic impact will fund future growth. It’s a good deal for any enterprising mayor…
Places like New York and San Francisco are amazing. But for many thousands of people, a good life in these places is unattainable.”
