About the Program
Columbus pays $5,000 in cash to remote workers who move to Muscogee County, and the package comes to more than $8,700 with local perks and event tickets. You need a full-time remote job that pays at least $75,000 a year, and you have to live at least 75 miles outside Columbus when you apply. You then have six months to move and you agree to stay at least a year. The 2026 round is open, but spots are limited and the program expects to fill fast.
