Want to move to our town? Here's $10,000 and a free bike

A bike shop in Bentonville, Ark., Feb. 18, 2016.

The Fayetteville region — including Bentonville, best known as the home of Walmart’s global headquarters — is one of several smaller metro areas and states across the country, from Georgia to Hawaii, trying to lure high-net-worth workers who can increasingly do their jobs remotely. The idea is that they will shop in local stores and pay real estate taxes, but they will not take jobs away from locals.

As these initiatives have picked up steam around the country, so have their detractors, who push back against the idea of giving much-needed financial assistance to prosperous out-of-towners. He added, “We don’t need any individuals to move here. We need the people working in the right types of industries.”

Thus far, she said, 26 recipients and their families have moved to Savannah under the program, including Bridget Overson, 41, who was living in Concord, New Hampshire, and works in user engagement for Updater, a company that streamlines the moving process. The initial goal was simple: to replenish revenue for a state that lost countless tourism dollars in 2020. Beyond that, Movers and Shakas hopes its participants will provide needed guidance and skills to local professionals who might not have regular access to tech conferences, networking events or graduate courses.

Lim said nearly 90,000 applications poured in for the Movers and Shakas program, which currently has 50 slots. The program has no age or industry specifications; the main requirement is articulating why you want to call Tulsa home. While participants are required to stay for a year, the vast majority have remained after that deadline, Stewart said, adding that the program organizes regular events, including drive-in movies, cooking classes, historic tours and volunteer opportunities.
