Community in Bloomington, Indiana

We hope you enjoyed a nice holiday season and are excited to make the move to Bloomington in the new year!

A few New Year's reminders:

1) If you want to plan a visit before moving, we offer a $450 pre-move visit stipend to help you experience Bloomington! Even better, if you still need to work during your trip, you're welcome to test out The Mill (our local coworking hub, where you'll get a 3-year full-time membership to once you officially move). To qualify for the stipend, you first need to verify your income and accept your Bloomington Remote offer letter. From there, we just need a full week to get a check ready for your arrival. As you plan your trip, don't forget that we're happy to connect you with realtors and/or other local resources to help you get a jump-start on your move planning!

2) We host monthly meetups for remote workers to help build connection and community. If you happen to be in Bloomington during the 3rd Wednesday each month, we invite you to join us for our monthly Remote Worker Meetup lunch!

3) We have more information about the program and benefits on our website, but feel free to reach out with any questions (big or small) and we'll be happy to help!

Lastly, from all of us at The Mill, we wish you all the best for a successful new year, and we look forward to welcoming you to Bloomington soon!

As we close out the year, it’s the perfect time to look back on the milestones we’ve accomplished together and share a glimpse into what’s ahead for The Mill. Thanks to your unwavering support, we’ve continued to foster innovation, empower entrepreneurs, and grow Bloomington’s community of creators and visionaries.

This year marked six incredible years since The Mill opened its doors, and what a journey it’s been! Together, we’ve built a thriving ecosystem for startups, remote workers, and big thinkers—a place where ambition truly lives.

Looking ahead to 2025, we’re excited to keep growing the Trades District as a regional hub for innovation. With your continued support, we’ll build on this momentum to create even more opportunities for entrepreneurs, remote workers, and changemakers in our community. Together, we’re building something extraordinary!

As we approach holiday season, now is a great time to plan your trip to Bloomington!

The Mill, our non-profit center for coworking and entrepreneurship is offering free December "Holiday Passes" for you to come experience our community of innovators, dreamers, creators, and remote workers.

Additionally, to help Bloomington Remote applicants evaluate whether our city is right for them, and/or get a jump-start on the relocation process, Bloomington Remote is now offering a $450 Pre-Move Visit Stipend to "accepted" applicants who want to come experience the community for themselves. All you need to do is apply and be accepted to the program, and then we can help you plan your trip - and have a check ready for your arrival. Some applicants use the opportunity to experience the city, while others take the opportunity to start their housing search. Many do both! Whatever your interest, we're here to help.
