Remote work: Talent attraction and development
At least 53 communities in 24 states and Puerto Rico are seeking new residents through remote work by offering cash, covering moving costs or providing other incentives. Other communities, particularly in rural areas, have launched initiatives preparing a remote workforce to remain in town.

Join this group of leaders who are working to revitalize their regions through innovative remote workforce initiatives.
