This Southern city is paying people thousands of dollars to move there - with the National Quilt Museum as its claim to fame
Briefly

Paducah, Kentucky, is implementing a relocation incentive program aimed at attracting remote workers as the city seeks to boost its economy post-pandemic. Eligible remote professionals can receive nearly $6,500 in benefits, including moving reimbursements, waived payroll taxes, internet stipends, and cultural memberships. To qualify, individuals must be at least 100 miles away and work for companies without local offices. The initiative highlights Paducah’s livability and artistic community, emphasizing its revitalized downtown and a strong local culture that appeals to potential new residents.
"Congratulations on your decision to relocate, I'm so glad you're considering Paducah, Kentucky," Mayor George Bray said in a video invitation.
"Paducah really attracts artists to come and create a live-work space," local real estate agent Sara Gipson told the Daily Mail, noting the appeal of the city's walkable downtown.
