# Growth Desk source note — founder trial stay (2026-08-25)

Angle selected: Greenwood should test a two-night founder / remote-worker / business-buyer trial stay before selling relocation.

Editorial status: publishable Growth Desk proposal / case-study lesson. This is not an official City plan, not a relocation incentive offer, and not a claim that Greenwood has confirmed housing, workspace, school capacity, child-care capacity, zoning approval, serviced lots, broadband capacity or tax impact.

## Human follow-up needed

Ask Chris/local partners for current accommodation contacts, business owners willing to host a founder coffee, confirmed available commercial spaces or public listings, school/family-service contacts, internet and cell-service notes, realtor/property-owner leads, and former residents or remote workers willing to test the package honestly.
