$215M National Harbor Sphere venue bond financing
Prince George's County
Summary
The county is considering up to $215 million in special obligation bonds to help build an immersive entertainment venue at National Harbor and refinance the 2022 bonds. The money is repaid from tax increment, hotel tax, and PRA tax revenues at National Harbor — not the county's general credit — but the committee refused to take a position, leaving the fight for the full council.

Impact analysis
Up to $215 million in bonds repaid from National Harbor tax increment and hotel tax revenues, not the county's general fund.
The venue developer and National Harbor district get financing; the county gains a major attraction and the tax growth that pays the bonds back.
