1. "city living" Helps Businesses Attract and Retain Employees

30,000 units of housing. More than 400 restaurants. More than 50 miles of hiking and running trails. 14 institutions of higher learning to expand your knowledge. This is city living, dc style!

The Deputy Mayor for Planning and Economic Development recommends that local businesses and nonprofits promote the city living, dc style! EXPO to their current and potential employees. This free EXPO can help you by putting all the reasons to live or play in DC in one room.

We’ll have:

• Housing providers—from affordable to market-rate—on-hand.
• Banks and mortgage brokers to help people with financing.
• Free classes on the city's homeownership incentives, all our neighborhoods and our great amenities that are off the National Mall.
• And, a live radio broadcast, free music and cultural performances, two giveaways for a $2,000 towards a down payment-and it's all free.

This won't be your standard pipe-and-drape EXPO—the floor will look like the District and the carpets will run like our Metro lines, to give people a true sense of what our city feels like. If you're looking to find more employees—or offer more options to the ones that you have—this is the show for you:

• The city living, dc style! EXPO
• October 25 - 26 at the Washington Convention Center
• Register today at city living DC or register on-site
• And remember, it's free.

Don't forget to pick up your copy of the Express, The Washington Post's free daily on Friday, October 23. Inside, you'll find our EXPO program and guide to living in the city with a list of our current exhibitors and ideas for new ways to spend your free time in DC.
