In this episode of Inside INdiana Business with Gerry Dick, we spotlight the Indiana-based startup MakeMyMove, which is luring remote workers from across the U.S. to cities like Noblesville, South Bend, and Evansville. Offering cash incentives, perks, and community engagement opportunities, the program has already helped more than 2,000 remote workers relocate, fueling economic growth and helping Indiana address its talent shortage.
