Discover Perry County Site Promotes $9,200 Relocation Incentives, Jobs, Recreation

Discover Perry County, the county’s official community and economic development and visitor information site, promotes more than $9,200 in relocation and home-buyer incentives alongside a jobs board, an events calendar, and resources for businesses and visitors. The site’s front page emphasizes the county’s proximity to Hoosier National Forest and Ohio River riverfronts as selling points for new residents and tourists.

Two prominent site features, Explore Incentives and Why Live Here, outline the financial offers intended to lower moving costs and encourage home purchases. The jobs board lists openings across Perry County, with recent postings from Mulzer Crushed Stone, FLASH Inc., Goodwill, and Home Mutual Insurance Company, and positions located in Tell City, Troy, and other communities. The events calendar aggregates community programming ranging from storytimes and winery tastings to archery shoots and job fairs, providing both family-focused activities and workforce connections.

The website also consolidates Doing Business information, including available sites, utilities, and workforce resources, and Visitors content on outdoor recreation, lodging, and dining. Chamber of Commerce details and links to local government and healthcare entities appear as additional practical touchpoints for newcomers and existing residents.

For Perry County, the combination of financial incentives, job listings, and tourism promotion is a coordinated push to strengthen the local economy. Relocation incentives of more than $9,200 can lower barriers for households considering a move, potentially increasing demand for housing and local services. Employers named on the jobs board signal active hiring across industries such as construction and aggregates (Mulzer Crushed Stone), manufacturing or services (FLASH Inc.), nonprofit retail and workforce programs (Goodwill), and insurance (Home Mutual Insurance Company). A strengthened labor supply could help local firms fill vacancies and support expansion, while new residents would expand the consumer base for restaurants, lodging, and outdoor recreation businesses near the Hoosier National Forest and along the Ohio River.

There are also trade-offs to monitor. Modest population gains can boost the tax base but may increase pressure on housing availability, public services, and infrastructure if growth is sudden or concentrated. The site’s Doing Business resources and workforce links suggest county officials are attempting to align incentives with site-ready properties and employer needs, which could moderate those pressures if paired with targeted housing and infrastructure planning.

For Perry County residents, the site is both a recruitment tool and a practical resource: it signals active economic development efforts, lists concrete job opportunities in Tell City, Troy, and elsewhere, and highlights community events that shape daily life. Expect local leaders and employers to use the site as a platform for outreach, and check the jobs board and events calendar regularly to see how the incentives and hiring activity translate into new neighbors, new workers, and new business for the county.
