In 2019 the mayor, Giovanni Bruno Mattiet, announced that the municipality of Locana will pay families up to €9,000, (US$10,200) over a three-year period just for moving to the village. To qualify the families must have at least one child and a yearly income of €6,000. The goal is to stop the town from disappearing, since every year in town there are only 10 births but 40 deaths.
