The 340,000-square-foot upscale outlet center is located just minutes from the nation's capital. Tanger Outlets National Harbor is easily accessible from the Capital Beltway, I-95, I-495, I-295 and the new Woodrow Wilson Bridge, and is minutes away from all three area airports. There are interchange and multi-lane fly-off ramps exiting exclusively into the community from Maryland, Virginia and D.C.
"The world of retail is constantly evolving and our collaboration with Tanger Outlets will dramatically raise the bar on the outlet shopping experience throughout the region," said Taylor O. Chess, President of Retail for Peterson Companies. "The addition of Tanger Outlets to the diverse experiences available at National Harbor is an important element of Milt Peterson's vision of a world-class resort destination on the banks of the Potomac."
The region's economy will be provided a significant economic boost from the opening of Tanger Outlets National Harbor through sales and property tax revenues as well as the creation of more than 900 full and part-time retail management and sales positions.
"The opening of the Tanger Outlets National Harbor will have a major economic impact on Prince George's County and the State of Maryland. These outlets will attract regional visitors, offer wonderful opportunities for our residents to 'shop local,' and, most importantly, create jobs for thousands of Prince George's County citizens," said Prince George's County Executive Rushern L. Baker, III.
