Having recently spent a week in northwestern Arkansas for some camping, I thought this New York Times article about incentives that some regions of the country are offering to attract remote workers was interesting. Among them, the Northwest Arkansas Council launched a program last year offering select remote workers $10,000 and a free bicycle to explore the region’s 322 miles of biking trails if they relocated there within six months. It’s an offer that Jennifer Hill Booker, a former Atlanta resident, took up after she became an empty nester with both daughters in college. Booker, 45, a chef and entrepreneur, is the author of two cookbooks, and her travels on the lecture circuit have taken her around the country — but always back to Atlanta, where she lived with her two children. Then, last year, with her daughters off at college, she realized there was nothing keeping her there. “I am an empty nester looking for that next stage in my life,” she said. The program has attracted 29,000 applicants from every state and even outside the United States, organizers said.
