The Hagerstown economic engine is thriving. The city is comprised of a diversified economic base and ranks seventh in the nation in per capita retail space. The strength of this retail market share is demonstrated by the fact that the Hagerstown Super Wal*Mart is among the most successful in the nation and the Hagerstown Prime Outlets Center draws over 4 million patrons per year.
The Interstate 81 corridor in Washington County is flourishing with industry and contains additional industrial park land available for new development. Hagerstown’s tourism industry is enviable, boasting rising hotel occupancy rates of nearly 14% year over year and convention business increases of as much as 40% since 2005. In addition, Downtown Hagerstown’s recent renaissance has yielded new investment- generating building turnover and rehabilitation, new retail and service enterprises, and rising property values.
