WORKER RELOCATION GRANT

In 2022 the City of Fremont launched the Worker Relocation Grant. This grant program is for individuals looking to relocate to Fremont for a new job opportunity and offers reimbursement of qualifying moving expenses.

CITY OF FREMONT RELOCATION GRANT PROGRAM

Are you looking to relocate for new job opportunities? Or, are you someone who works remotely looking to relocate from the hustle & bustle of a larger city? If so, Fremont is the community for you. Beginning January, 2022, Fremont, Ohio began its Relocation/Remote Worker Grant Program.

Fremont is looking for forward-thinking individuals like yourself to grow our community. To qualify for the grant, an applicant must be moving from another community in Ohio or from out of state. Moves within the city do not qualify for grant reimbursement.

Take advantage of what Fremont has to offer. We look forward to growing our community with you.
