In response to the rise of remote work, several U.S. cities are now offering financial incentives to attract new residents. Programs highlighted by Newsweek include Texarkana, Texas-Arkansas, which provides over $18,900 in benefits through its 'Call Texarkana Home' initiative, including cash payments and housing assistance. Huntington County, Indiana, offers more than $15,000 to boost its population and tax revenue, while northeast Indiana's 'Live and Work Locally' program provides over $11,700 with additional community perks. Cedar Rapids, Iowa, rounds out the list with around $9,000 in total benefits. However, applicants must typically meet income requirements of $55,000–$80,000 and have stable employment to qualify. These programs aim to stimulate local economies by increasing the number of taxpayers and local spending, but potential movers are advised to consider their job situation carefully before relocating.
