Financial Incentives
The financial incentives of Ascend WV are simple: We will pay you $12,000 to live your best life in West Virginia.
$12,000
Move your remote work to West Virginia and receive $12,000 while living in Almost Heaven. Spend your money on the things that you love or lay down some roots, all while experiencing everything that West Virginia has to offer.
Let's Run the Numbers
Payments for the $12,000 financial incentive will begin after your first month in the Ascend WV program and continue in equal monthly payments over the course of two years.
