Greater Washington, DC, an island of solvency in a red sea

Kim Hart
It's just one more sign of the region's growing clout in the business and technology world. This is where stimulus dollars are doled out, where the economic recovery is taking shape, and where regulations -- many of which directly affect businesses -- are being crafted and rewritten. Of course, lawyers and lobbyists are getting a great deal of business helping folks find ways to tap into stimulus money. But Washington's new power role is also good news for local firms.


The stimulus dollars are for the whole country, but the federal government is a unique market and most of the talent that understands it are located along the Potomac.
