Cumberland, Maryland, is launching a pilot program offering up to $20,000 in incentives to attract new residents, aiming to boost the local population.
The program includes $10,000 for relocation and an additional $10,000 for home renovations or down payments, but the incentive comes with residency requirements.
To qualify, newcomers must reside outside Allegany County, work remotely or be self-employed, and commit to living in their new home for five years.
Despite its financial struggles, Cumberland's historical significance and scenic views are highlighted to attract families looking for a new place to settle.
