West Virginia Offers, $12,000 Relocation Incentive
for Remote Workers.
The program Ascend WV was announced by
the state's Governor Jim Justice on April 12.
It offers qualified remote workers who apply
and are accepted by the program an opportunity
to receive $12,000 over the course of two years.
As added incentive, Gov. Justice touted the outdoor
recreational spaces that the state has to offer.
[Ascend WV] will allow adventurers to enjoy world-class recreation, uncrowded spaces, and a low cost of living while staying fully connected to their jobs, Jim Justice, WV Governor, via CNN.
Applicants must be at least
18 years old and be employed remotely full-time
by a company located outside of West Virginia.

of Ascend WV intend to expand it to all 55 counties
