state grants luring remote workers

We’ve talked about states luring workers with economic incentives as a method of economic development. We kicked off the conversation a few years ago with $10,000 relocation incentives in Oklahoma. Vermont has offered a $10,000 incentive too. Ascend WV offers $20,000 in incentives to move to West Virginia. State, local, and regional incentives have been successful, bring in new talent, and demand has been high.
