Before the deadline of April 15, more than 2,500 persons submitted applications for the program’s lottery selection. The drawing started on June 1.

Additionally, if they successfully refer individuals to relocate to the region, locals can earn $501. The effort will leverage information from social media to identify former Arkansas residents or out-of-state employees with ties to Arkansas and persuade them to move there.
