Why have many municipalities started offering individuals money to relocate to their city or town? It used to be that the focus was on attracting businesses to town by offering tax incentives and other benefits. Recently, though, businesses are short on labor, so it makes sense for cities to do what they can to attract more workers. Not only to the businesses get the workforce they need, but the city increases its tax revenue. The incentives are not available only to people who are joining the local workforce, though. Remote workers get the same benefits. They often bring their high salary into the town increasing local spending and tax revenue. It’s a win for everyone!
