A new program aimed at recruiting remote workers to the Manhattan area experienced positive early results, local officials said Thursday.
Representatives from the Manhattan Area Chamber of Commerce and Riley County Planning and Development updated the Riley County commission Thursday on efforts of MakeMyMove, a relocation incentive program that is also part of the state’s Home in the Heartland Initiative.
“We’ve had 38 apply for the program, 31 be pre-approved, which means they fit all the criteria to move here,” Allison Muth, the chamber’s talent strategies manager, said.
Five individuals were offered a spot and one applicant has accepted.
