@nbcchicago: Would you take $9,500 to move to Wisconsin? Fond du Lac, with a population of about 44,000, has launched a "new talent attraction program" in hopes of attracting new residents as either remote or local workers, in exchange for $9,500 in relocation and local experiences, a press release said. The initiative is part of MakeMyMove, a program that helps connect U.S. residents to new places through incentives, signing bonuses and networking opportunities. According to organizers, Fond du Lac -- currently in the midst of a workforce shortage -- is the first Wisconsin community to be part of the program, with others listed in Bloomington, Indiana; Salina, Kansas and Texarkana, Texas. "We'll help you find your happy place, and get paid to move there," the site said. #fonddulac #wisconsin #moving

fond du lac is a dying town. very limited shopping, little entertainment for kids/young adults, few fine dining restaurants. for the size town it is, it has very little to offer.

10 million would not entice me to move to Wisconsin….. one of the most boring states in the country.

An hour south of Green Bay instead of an hour north of Milwaukee? A decision was made there.

how about a job with good pay? 10k in perks to move there is nothing if you can't get a job that pays well.
