Greene County
The independent spirit, love of the land, and humble hardworking nature that characterized the first settlers who established the thriving small towns nestled throughout Greene County’s sprawling countryside is still alive today.
Employer Incentive Program
Our Employee Incentive Program requires interested individuals to secure a job in one of our counties with a participating employer before they are eligible to receive the $5,000 moving incentive. To get connected with someone on our team to help you, please fill out this form.
Once you have received a job offer, the employer must send a copy of the offer letter from the hiring company to verify the job offer, job title, and salary, which must be a minimum of $50,000.
After program approval, you will receive the $5,000.00 incentive, divided into two payments of $2,500.00:
-
The first payment will be disbursed once the prospective employee arrives in the Radius region.
- The second payment will be disbursed one year from the date of your arrival.
