Now the village is home to just 394.
The mayor of the Italian village will pay $2.2 thousand people who are willing to live there.
In the Italian village of Bormida authorities offer payment in the amount of 2 000 € (2 175 dollars) and housing for only $ 50 per month to those who agree to live in this village.
The aim of the project is to stop the sharp population decline of Bormida.
It is known that the Bormida located in the mountainous region of Liguria, the closest to it is the city of Genoa, located 80 km away.
In 2014, the population of the village was reduced to 390 residents, in this regard, the head of the city began to take steps to attract new residents.
At the moment the population of Bormida is 394. At first glance, the efforts of the mayor was not very successful, but when you consider that from 2014 to 2017 left the city or died, 54 people were born only 4, and the remaining increase was visitors, the project seems to be more successful.
However, the increase in four people is too small, with the result that the mayor has decided to impose an additional bonus, visitors now can rent a larger house for $ 130 a month.
By the way, at this point in the provincial towns of Italy there are a lot of empty houses that offer to buy cheaply, sometimes for a nominal 1 Euro.
