This City Will Pay You $10000 To Move There (And Thats Not All)

(Forbes) This summer Vermont made headlines when it announced plans to start paying remote workers $10000 to move to the state. Now a U.S. city wants in on the action too. A new program Tulsa Remote will pay remote workers $10000 to move to Tulsa Oklahoma for a year. Besides the hefty stipend the program will offer a number of other attractive incentives including a membership (worth $1800) to the 36 Degrees North co-working space up to three months of discounted rent in a furnished apartment in Tulsas Arts District plus plenty of programming events and community-building opportunities to help workers get settled. The Tulsa Remote program is part of a series of efforts to attract new talent spearheaded by the George Kaiser Family Foundation a $3.5 billion charitable endowment that is committed to addressing poverty in Tulsa and creating a more vibrant city. The foundation also works with Teach for America to bring teachers to the city and has been sponsoring a fellowship for artists. Tulsa Remote is just the latest in a series of clever and lucrative ways that destinations are working to lure new residents from Candela a small Italian town that is paying residents 2000 euros ($2350) to move there to New Haven Connecticut which is giving up to $80000 in incentives to attract homeowners.
