Free money: Foreigners
tempted by Swedish town’s cash incentive .
The northern Swedish town of Arjeplog has been inundated with requests in
recent days from prospective migrants interested in cashing in on the
municipality’s innovative new repopulation scheme.
As reported in The Local last week, Arjeplog council is offering 25,000
kronor ($4,000) to anybody willing to set up a new home in the inland
municipality located just 50 kilometres south of the Polar Circle.
"Our current population has dropped to 3,100 from a high of 5,500 thirty
years ago. We want to eventually get it back up to maybe around 4,000,"
council spokesman Bengt-Urban Fransson told The Local.
