Dream spread
Reimbursement of moving costs to start a new life in Vermont.
Relocation reality check
Fully subscribed: applications are still accepted and processed in order, but a valid application does not guarantee a grant. The older remote-worker-only grant (2018-2019) has ended.

Permanent residency: No fixed clock — a green card requires family, employment or investment sponsorship; relocation incentives don't provide one.
