Several years ago in Australia a town was selling released lots for something like $1 each. Basically a peppercorn payment. The catch was that you had to improve the land (build on) within 18 months. Not sure how they funded the infrastructure - roads were laid and everything was ready to go - or how many people seriously took up that offer.

Bet there's similar incentives in USA towns looking to grow.
