I was blown away when I learned about MakeMyMove!
Have you ever looked at one of these cheap old houses and thought, “Okay, but how would I actually move there!?”
Did you know that cities and towns of all sizes are launching amazing incentive programs in order to attract talent and grow their local workforce?
MakeMymove connects YOU with these incentive programs. There are options in Indiana, Kentucky, Arkansas, Kansas, Georgia and more coming online regularly (and many in communities featured in this very newsletter!).
In addition to cash, communities are offering things like free co-working space, gym memberships, potluck welcome dinners, coffee with the mayor, free summer camp for kids, and continued education opportunities at local universities. Most of the communities are recruiting remote workers, but some are starting to offer incentives for those who accept local positions.
There’s an AWESOME customer care team at MakeMyMove and in the local communities that really help people get connected to the community before the move - to help with house hunting, evaluating schools, and getting connected to any other services.
