Neodesha , Kansas , is offering incentives for those willing to move there.

Other communities across the country are also upping the ante with cash incentives or voucher programs.

"This is a cost-effective way of doing economic development," says Evan Hock , co-founder and chief operating officer of MakeMyMove .

"We spent a Saturday looking for a house — there were kids riding bikes," she said, "I just cried." The couple moved to Neodesha with their two dogs 18 months ago , even before the incentive program launched. Sundberg now works as the executive director of the new early learning center in town after a neighbor brought over the job posting and suggested she apply for the position. "Being away from family is the hardest part," she said, "but I would never want to move back.".
