City may drop the 'Make My Move' relocation incentive as the state scales back funding
Who it touches: If you moved to Terre Haute for the cash incentive, or were considering it, the mayor signaled the program may not be around much longer.
The council approved moving $87,500 in state reimbursements for the "Make My Move" relocation incentive into the city's budget — money the city had already paid out to people who moved to Terre Haute.
Mayor Brandon Sakbun told the council he's now leaning toward ending the program because the state is reducing how much it reimburses the city per household, which he said no longer makes financial sense for the city to keep funding.
