In the inland region of Valencia, a small municipality has launched a campaign to attract new residents. The offer combines stable employment and affordable housing, with the aim of reversing population loss and revitalizing a local economy that depends on traditional and emerging sectors.
Fiber optics and remote work as a technological hook 🌐
The plan includes the installation of free fiber optics in municipal housing and the creation of a coworking space with computer equipment. It aims to attract remote professionals who can combine rural life with urban incomes. Additionally, tax incentives are offered to freelancers and small tech companies that set up in the village, facilitating online bureaucratic procedures.
Move to the village, where Wi-Fi arrives before bread 🥖
The offer is tempting: a house with a garden and 25 symmetrical megas for the price of a garage in Valencia city. Sure, the supermarket is open three hours a day and the baker comes by on Tuesdays, but hey, the Zoom connection is smooth. Having to drive 40 minutes to buy milk is offset by not hearing the upstairs neighbor dragging furniture at three in the morning.
