Fortune: Tulsa paid workers $10,000 to relocate and unlocked an $878 million talent boom

What started as a $10,000 relocation incentive has evolved into a major economic driver for the city. The article reports an estimated $878 million in economic impact, showing how bringing remote workers to Tulsa benefits the broader community.

But the success of Tulsa Remote goes beyond the incentive. The program was built to focus on people and long term connection. By attracting remote workers who bring their jobs with them, Tulsa continues to grow in a way that strengthens both the economy and the community.

That focus on connection is what sets the program apart. Through events, coworking, and ongoing support, members are encouraged to build relationships and put down roots in Tulsa.

The article also highlights the next phase of this work through the Tulsa Visa Network, expanding opportunities to attract global talent and support local employers.

We are proud to see Tulsa Remote recognized as a model for growth rooted in community and opportunity.
