Relocation incentives in Tulsa have significantly boosted the local economy and workforce, with over 4,000 workers contributing $878 million.
The highest compensation comes from the Ascend West Virginia program, which is worth more than $23,000, according to the study. To receive the package-which includes $12,000 in cash, a free coworking space, and outdoor gear rentals, among other perks-you must be 18 or older and have a full-time remote job for a company outside of the state.
I moved from Newport News, Virginia, to Tulsa, Oklahoma, in 2022 because of the Tulsa Remote program. It was around Christmastime of 2021, and I was looking for a new opportunity. I had just moved to Newport News from Virginia Beach just for that year. I really needed a change of pace, and I got introduced to MakeYourMove.com. I saw that a bunch of different cities had incentives for remote workers at the time.
