On Monday, West Virginia announced a new incentive program to encourage remote workers to move to its state. The program specifically targets outdoor enthusiasts who want to enjoy the many recreational areas that the state has to offer.
In a public-private program, the state is trying to curb the loss of population that it has experienced in recent years. Republican Governor Jim Justice reportedly attempted to increase the population through a large income tax cut, but the bill didn’t make it through the legislature. This most recent move might do more to lure young people to the area and entice them to stay.
