Some Park Towns Recruit EB-5 Program Foreign Entrepreneurs

The EB-5 Immigrant Investor visa is a way to get admitted to the US as a Conditional Permanent Resident. You must invest $500,000 in a new business. If you successfully hire 10 full time people in 2 years, you get to be a permanent resident. The program is particularly popular with Canadians. Some Park towns are actively recruiting foreign entrepreneurs who can take advantage of the program.
