Towns in rural America are attempting to
revitalize their increasingly anemic communities by incentivizing people
to move out to the countryside.
Cash
grants, student loan pay offs and free land giveaways are just some of
the enticements smaller communities are offering to a younger generation
of Americans looking to leave the big city, where in some places
individuals can utilize up to $80,000 worth of incentives to relocate.
According to USA Today,
rural America encompasses 75 per cent of the country, but only 16 per
cent of its population, the lowest in the nation's history.
Numbers
show that 54 per cent of the population in 1910 lived in rural
communities, but dropped to just 19 per cent in 2010, according to a
report by real estate website Zillow
