The 'Tulsa Remote' work-from-home program has boomed during the pandemic, fostering economic development in the heartland — and forging a new future for a city with a painful past.
As a former local television news producer and Los Angeles native, slowing down and moving to a small city was never on her horizon, she said — until she and her wife were each offered $10,000 to move to Tulsa, Oklahoma, through a remote work program called “Tulsa Remote.”
“If you think of the science of it, it’s like you’re opening new neural pathways in your brain,” she said. “And so you’re creating more possibilities.” Stewart said Tulsa, built during the oil boom of the early 1900s for a population that never fully materialized, is ready to absorb new arrivals without displacing the people already there. He sees Tulsa Remote members as “additive community members” of the city, those that can bring jobs with them, rather than take jobs away from local residents.
“If they do generate economic growth, any positive effects they have will likely spill over to more economic growth, not crowd out other economic growth,” he said. “Does that mean higher housing prices, higher wages and longer commutes? Always.”
