Prince George’s County Explores New Economic Strategies, Including National Harbor Venue
Prince George's County leaders are developing new economic strategies, which include a proposal to build a scaled-down version of the Sphere entertainment venue at National Harbor.
Washington, DC, July 27, 2026 —
Prince George’s County is exploring new economic development initiatives, with a notable proposal to construct a smaller-scale version of the popular Sphere entertainment venue at National Harbor. The move is part of broader efforts by county leaders to invigorate the region’s economic landscape.
Details regarding the specific scale of the proposed venue, the projected costs, or the timeline for development were not immediately available. Similarly, information about potential partners or developers involved in the project has not been disclosed.
The concept of building an entertainment venue inspired by the Las Vegas Sphere aims to attract increased tourism and generate new revenue streams for the county. National Harbor, a waterfront destination already known for its retail, dining, and entertainment options, is being considered as a strategic location for this potential new attraction.
County officials have indicated that these economic strategies are under development, suggesting that further information and public discussions are expected as plans progress. The specifics of how this project aligns with other economic development goals for Prince George’s County are yet to be fully outlined.
