Discover Jamaica Beach

Jamaica Beach is centrally located on the West End of Galveston Island. Mayor Vic Pierson has worked diligently to reduce taxes since his involvement in politics began in 1999. Tax rates have plummeted from 59.742 cents per $100 to 34.840 cents per $100 in 2004. Mayor Pierson hopes to reduce the tax rate to .25 cents per $100 by 2007. The city also has a Police, EMS and Volunteer Fire Department.

Tanger Outlet Center Mall - Tuesday, September 06, 2011
The ground breaking ceremony for the Texas City Simon Tanger Factory Outlet Center was held August 30th. Steven Tanger, president and CEO of Tanger Factory Outlet Centers and John Klein, president of Simon Premium Outlets, attended the ceremony. The facility will include 350,000 square feet in first phase of the project. It is located on 55 acres, west of Interstate 45 and south of Holland Road. Phase one will include 90 stores and is expected to be a major draw to the local area. It will be similar to the mall located in San Marcos, Texas.
The Outlet is expected to generate $8 million in yearly sales tax revenue, create 400 construction jobs, 900 full and part time retail and management positions and be as successful as the San Marcus centers.
