Looking to move away from the hustle and bustle of the big city? You can now take country roads, and a paycheck, to get home to West Virginia.
West Virginia this week launched a new initiative offering remote and self-employed workers $12,000 and a year-long pass for free outdoor activities — and all you have to do is relocate to the "wild and wonderful" mountain state for at least two years. "There's a reason that 50 years ago John Denver coined West Virginia as Almost Heaven in his hit song Take Me Home, Country Roads, and we'd like to share it with you. Mountain living is just within your grasp, so take a look at what we have to offer," officials said in a statement.Mistrial declared in case of Arizona rancher accused of fatally shooting Mexican migrant near border
