Remote Worker Incentive Program
Starting in June 2019, remote workers in the tech industry may be eligible to receive up to $10,000 to live in-and work from-The Shoals, an area that includes Colbert and Lauderdale counties in Northwest Alabama. The Shoals area boasts many amenities, including close proximity to the Tennessee River, recreational areas like the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail, diverse dining and shopping experiences, and a thriving music scene. But the cherry on top is the area's low cost of living.
Applicants must be 18 or older, eligible to work in the U.S. and be employed outside The Shoals as either full-time employees or independent contractors. Individuals selected for the program must relocate to The Shoals within six months. Candidates will begin the application process on the Remote Shoals website. A committee assemble by SEDA and the Shoals Chamber will then select candidates to move through two additional rounds of qualification.
