In 2021 the mayor of Santa Fiora outlined a scheme to stimulate the local economy and to increase the population. For anyone running or willing to set up an online business in Santa Fiora, the local authorities will pay up to 50% of their rent with certain caveats included such as living there for a minimum number of months. The aim is to become a "Smart Working Village" with the local government investing in a fast and reliable internet connection that the smart workers can take advantage of.
One of the most famous sights in the town is La Peschiera, an artificial lake flanked by a tranquil garden. The little centro storico or historic centre is dominated by Piazza Garibaldi, along which is an historic clock tower along with a number of bars, restaurants and shops.
