Would you take the risk and move to a new city given that you’ll get $5000?
It’s not easy to pack up your life and move to a new place to start anew. To entice new residents to move to their city, the City of Greensburg has launched MakeMyMove. The incentive program aims to attract new people to relocate there and was done in collaboration with Decatur County, and the Greensburg/Decatur County Economic Development Corporation.
The recipients of the program will be provided $5000 for closing costs of a home purchase and moving fees ... but that's not all!
In addition, the city will also hand out:
- Gift cards to their farmer's market
- A year's membership to a local co-working space and YMCA
- Tickets to plays at the local playhouse
- Hosted visit to a local beach and private lake
... and best of all:
- Invitations to neighbors' home-cooked meals, and
- "Grandparents on Demand," as a local woman named Tami from the Decatur County Community Foundation and her husband (who happens to drive the school bus) will happily provide babysitting hours and will also show up as stand ins on Grandparent Day at school.
Now, who can resist that? Pack up the U-Haul today!
