The Northwest Arkansas Council is investing a million dollars through a Life Works Here Initiative to attract new residents to the region. They see the COVID-19 pandemic as a chance to give the region an economic boost, reports the Association of Mature American Citizens [AMAC]. Council president Nelson Peacock says the agency is seeking to attract new residents to their community by offering them $10,000 to relocate. He told Forbes magazine recently that “Northwest Arkansas has one of the fastest growing economies in the country.” Peacock said there are more than 10,000 job openings in Northwest Arkansas and a shortage of people to fill those openings. He’s hoping to attract people looking to relocate from big cities as a result of the coronavirus crisis.
