Topeka paying up to $15,000 for workers to move there

"Choose Topeka was created with the intention of investing in employees to live and work in Topeka and Shawnee County, so that we may foster an 'intentional community,' one of community support builders," Barbara Stapleton, with Go Topeka, an economic development group and a sponsor of the program, told KDVR.

Go Topeka, which is part of the city's Joint Economic Development Organization, will split the costs for the incentives with employers, the Star reported.
