SB 285 creates a state grant program to incentivize households earning at least $55,000 annually to relocate from outside Wisconsin to participating municipalities. Municipalities, counties, or qualifying nonprofits can apply for grants to fund recruitment programs, with each receiving up to $500,000 annually. Grant funds are disbursed in two installments, tied to meeting specific household relocation goals outlined in the program plan. Recipients must report on outcomes like household income, costs, and economic impact, including tax revenue and spending changes. The program requires applicants to cover at least 20% of program costs and ensures funds target new residents relocating from outside the state.
