Since its launch in 2018, the Tulsa Remote program has provided $10,000 incentives to remote workers, resulting in over 3,500 grants. A recent study by Tim Bartik reveals the program's success in generating more jobs and increasing local revenue compared to traditional tax incentives. The initiative not only boosts property values and retailer spending but also encourages long-term residency, with 70% of participants remaining post-program. Furthermore, the economic impact has led to enhanced public services and reduced taxes, demonstrating viable community growth through attracting remote workers.
According to Tulsa Remote's 2024 Sustainable Growth & Economic Impact report, people who have moved to Tulsa for the grant, called "Remoters," have collectively generated $622 million in direct employment income.
Bartik found that the program increased property values and led to more spending at local retailers, which in turn created local jobs.
