(July 12, 2024) – Last week, the State of Kansas launched a campaign to attract past residents to choose Kansas as their future home. The campaign, called Love, Kansas, focuses on highlighting Kansas as an exceptional place to live, work and raise a family.
The campaign prioritizes the state's abundant job opportunities and other benefits. Fifty communities will be selected as partners with Love, Kansas, and will be eligible for a $5,000 grant to assist in efforts to attract new residents to their communities. Nineteen communities have been announced thus far. A primary goal is for communities across the state to reach out to past residents with whom they have a personal connection, inviting them to return home.
The initial partner communities can be found here, as well as more information on how to involve your organization in collaborating with your broader community to recruit talent back into the state. Contact Rosa Cavazos if you have questions (785) 670-0139 or Rosa.Cavazos@ks.gov.
