Kansas weighs idea for luring people back
Freeport, Kansas, once the smallest incorporated city with a bank, lost its bank and most residents leaving five people and a near-empty town. Gov. Sam Brownback proposes tax incentives to attract newcomers, aiming to keep Kansas congressional representation and revitalize rural areas. Local leaders and critics debate feasibility while states pursue tax abatements and town efforts, including free lots and stipends, to stem depopulation.
