That changed abruptly in 1976 when he was cast as the incorrigibly corrupt mayor of the hamlet of Fernwood in “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” a satirical soap opera. He won a Golden Globe for “The Slap Maxwell Story” and an Emmy Award for best supporting actor in Peter Levin’s 1987 small screen legal drama “Sworn to Silence.” Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi listens to Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, not in photo, during a joint news conference following their meeting at the Presidential palace in Ankara, Turkey, Jan. 24, 2024.

Documentary filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, an Oscar nominee whose most famous works skewered America’s food industry and who notably ate only at McDonald’s for a month to illustrate the dangers of a fast-food diet, has died of cancer. He was 53. Spurlock made a splash in 2004 with his groundbreaking film “Super Size Me,” and returned in 2019 with “Super Size Me 2: Holy Chicken!” — a sober look at an industry that processes 9 billion animals a year in America. Spurlock was a gonzo-like filmmaker who leaned into the bizarre and ridiculous. His stylistic touches included zippy graphics and amusing music. Spurlock died May 23. Richard M. Sherman, one half of the prolific, award-winning pair of brothers who helped form millions of childhoods by penning classic Disney tunes, has died. He was 95.

His white shorts were covered in mud at the finish. He was inducted into the USA Track and Field Hall of Fame in 1991. He also helped write a book called “In the Long Run.” San Francisco Giants superstar Willie Mays poses for a photo during baseball spring training in 1972. Mays, the electrifying “Say Hey Kid” whose singular combination of talent, drive and exuberance made him one of baseball’s greatest and most beloved players, died June 18. He was 93. The center fielder, who began his professional career in the Negro Leagues in 1948, had been baseball’s oldest living Hall of Famer. He was voted into the Hall in 1979, his first year of eligibility, and in 1999 followed only Babe Ruth on The Sporting News’ list of the game’s top stars. The Giants retired his uniform number, 24, and set their AT&T Park in San Francisco on Willie Mays Plaza. Mays died two days before a game between the Giants and St. Louis Cardinals to honor the Negro Leagues at Rickwood Field in Birmingham , Alabama. Over 23 major league seasons, virtually all with the New York/San Francisco Giants but also including one in the Negro Leagues, Mays batted .301, hit 660 home runs, totaled 3,293 hits, scored more than 2,000 runs and won 12 Gold Gloves. He was Rookie of the Year in 1951, twice was named the Most Valuable Player and finished in the top 10 for the MVP 10 other times. His lightning sprint and over-the-shoulder grab of an apparent extra base hit in the 1954 World Series remains the most celebrated defensive play in baseball history. For millions in the 1950s and ’60s and after, the smiling ballplayer with the friendly, high-pitched voice was a signature athlete and showman during an era when baseball was still the signature pastime. Awarded the Medal of Freedom by President Barack Obama in 2015, Mays left his fans with countless memories. But a single feat served to capture his magic — one so untoppable it was simply called “The Catch.” Actor Donald Sutherland appears Oct. 13, 2017, at the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in Beverly Hills, Calif. Sutherland, the Canadian actor whose wry, arrestingly off-kilter screen presence spanned more than half a century of films from “M.A.S.H.” to “The Hunger Games,” died June 20. He was 88. Kiefer Sutherland said on X he believed his father was one of the most important actors in the history of film: “Never daunted by a role, good, bad or ugly. He loved what he did and did what he loved, and one can never ask for more than that.” The tall and gaunt Sutherland, who flashed a grin that could be sweet or diabolical, was known for offbeat characters like Hawkeye Pierce in Robert Altman's "M.A.S.H.," the hippie tank commander in "Kelly's Heroes" and the stoned professor in "Animal House." Before transitioning into a long career as a respected character actor, Sutherland epitomized the unpredictable, antiestablishment cinema of the 1970s. He never stopped working, appearing in nearly 200 films and series. Over the decades, Sutherland showed his range in more buttoned-down — but still eccentric — roles in Robert Redford's "Ordinary People" and Oliver Stone's "JFK." More, recently, he starred in the “Hunger Games” films. A memoir, “Made Up, But Still True,” is due out in November. Actor Bill Cobbs, a cast member in "Get Low," arrives July 27, 2010, at the premiere of the film in Beverly Hills, Calif. Cobbs, the veteran character actor who became a ubiquitous and sage screen presence as an older man, died June 25. He was 90. A Cleveland native, Cobbs acted in such films as “The Hudsucker Proxy,” “The Bodyguard” and “Night at the Museum.” He made his first big-screen appearance in a fleeting role in 1974's “The Taking of Pelham One Two Three." He became a lifelong actor with some 200 film and TV credits. The lion share of those came in his 50s, 60s, and 70s, as filmmakers and TV producers turned to him again and again to imbue small but pivotal parts with a wizened and worn soulfulness. Cobbs appeared on television shows including “The Sopranos," “The West Wing,” “Sesame Street” and “Good Times.” He was Whitney Houston's manager in “The Bodyguard” (1992), the mystical clock man of the Coen brothers' “The Hudsucker Proxy” (1994) and the doctor of John Sayles' “Sunshine State” (2002). He played the coach in “Air Bud” (1997), the security guard in “Night at the Museum” (2006) and the father on “The Gregory Hines Show." Cobbs rarely got the kinds of major parts that stand out and win awards. Instead, Cobbs was a familiar and memorable everyman who left an impression on audiences, regardless of screen time. He won a Daytime Emmy Award for outstanding limited performance in a daytime program for the series “Dino Dana” in 2020. Independent gubernatorial candidate Kinky Friedman speaks with the media Nov. 7, 2009, at his campaign headquarters in Austin, Texas. The singer, songwriter, satirist and novelist, who led the alt-country band Texas Jewboys, toured with Bob Dylan, sang with Willie Nelson, and dabbled in politics with campaigns for Texas governor and other statewide offices, died June 27. He was 79 and had suffered from Parkinson's disease. Often called “The Kinkster" and sporting sideburns, a thick mustache and cowboy hat, Friedman earned a cult following and reputation as a provocateur throughout his career across musical and literary genres. In the 1970s, his satirical country band Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys wrote songs with titles such as “They Ain't Makin' Jews Like Jesus Anymore” and “Get Your Biscuits in the Oven and Your Buns in Bed.” Friedman joined part of Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue tour in 1976. By the 1980s, Friedman was writing crime novels that often included a version of himself, and he wrote a column for Texas Monthly magazine in the 2000s. Friedman's run at politics brought his brand of irreverence to the serious world of public policy. In 2006, Friedman ran for governor as an independent in a five-way race that included incumbent Republican Rick Perry. Friedman launched his campaign against the backdrop of the Alamo. Martin Mull participates in "The Cool Kids" panel during the Fox Television Critics Association Summer Press Tour on Aug. 2, 2018, at The Beverly Hilton hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. Mull, whose droll, esoteric comedy and acting made him a hip sensation in the 1970s and later a beloved guest star on sitcoms including “Roseanne” and “Arrested Development,” died June 28. He was 80. Mull, who was also a guitarist and painter, came to national fame with a recurring role on the Norman Lear-created satirical soap opera “Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman,” and the starring role in its spinoff, “Fernwood Tonight." His first foray into show business was as a songwriter, penning the 1970 semi-hit “A Girl Named Johnny Cash” for singer Jane Morgan. He would combine music and comedy in an act that he brought to hip Hollywood clubs in the 1970s. Mull often played slightly sleazy, somewhat slimy and often smarmy characters as he did as Teri Garr's boss and Michael Keaton's foe in 1983's “Mr. Mom.” He played Colonel Mustard in the 1985 movie adaptation of the board game “Clue,” which, like many things Mull appeared in, has become a cult classic. The 1980s also brought what many thought was his best work, “A History of White People in America,” a mockumentary that first aired on Cinemax. Mull co-created the show and starred as a “60 Minutes” style investigative reporter investigating all things milquetoast and mundane. Willard was again a co-star. In the 1990s he was best known for his recurring role on several seasons on “Roseanne,” in which he played a warmer, less sleazy boss to the title character, an openly gay man whose partner was played by Willard, who died in 2020 . Mull would later play private eye Gene Parmesan on “Arrested Development,” a cult-classic character on a cult-classic show, and would be nominated for an Emmy, his first, in 2016 for a guest run on “Veep.” Screenwriter Robert Towne poses at The Regency Hotel, March 7, 2006, in New York.

He was elected to a fifth Senate term in 2020 and stepped down in early 2023.

A Philadelphia native and resident of Hendersonville, Tennessee, Bonsall joined the Oak Ridge Boys in 1973, which originally formed in the 1940s. He saw the band through its golden period in the '80s and beyond, which included their signature 1981 song “Elvira.” The hit marked a massive crossover moment for the group, reaching No. 1 on the country chart and No. 5 on Billboard’s all-genre Hot 100. The group is also known for such hits as 1982’s “Bobbie Sue." Shelley Duvall poses for photographers at the 30th Cannes Film Festival in France, May 27, 1977.

The answer: You can keep it — and no fine. Chuck Hildebrandt, 63, of Chicago said he visited the public library in Warren while in town for Thanksgiving, carrying a book titled "Baseball's Zaniest Stars." He borrowed it in 1974 as a 13-year-old "baseball nut" but never returned it. Chuck Hildebrandt of Chicago holds the book "Baseball's Zaniest Stars," which was due Dec. 4, 1974, at the Warren, Mich., library, on Dec. 10. "When you're moving with a bunch of books, you're not examining every book. You throw them in a box and go," said Hildebrandt, who lived in many cities. "But five or six years ago, I was going through the bookshelf and there was a Dewey decimal library number on the book. 'What is this?'" Inside the book was a slip of paper indicating it was due back at the Warren library on Dec. 4, 1974. Hildebrandt told The Associated Press he decided to keep the book until 2024 — the 50th anniversary — and then try to return it. He figured the library might want to publicize the long overdue exchange. Chuck Hildebrandt of Chicago shows the library slip in the overdue book "Baseball's Zaniest Stars" on Dec. 10. He said he recently met library director Oksana Urban, who listened to his pitch. Hildebrandt said he hasn't heard anything since then, though Urban told the Detroit Free Press that all is forgiven. "Some people never come back to face the music," she said of patrons with overdue books. "But there was really no music to face because he and the book were erased from our system." So "Baseball's Zaniest Stars" is back on Hildebrandt's shelf. In return, he's now trying to raise $4,564 for Reading is Fundamental , a nonprofit literacy group. The amount roughly represents a 50-year overdue library fine. Hildebrandt seeded the effort with $457. The Major League Baseball draft is unique among professional sports drafts. The 30 organizations pick teenagers and college students who will not join their big league clubs for years—if ever. These athletes will spend that time honing their craft in the minor leagues, where long bus rides and minuscule paychecks are the norm. A few will move quickly up the ranks, seizing playing time opportunities to advance their careers and making their names known to scouts, fans, and other observers around the country. Some of the best will become MLB stars, but there's minimal correlation to draft position. Four of the players on this list were picked after hundreds of other diamond darlings, and only two were #1 overall selections. There's also more than a handful who didn't do much for the teams that drafted them, including superstars such as Nolan Ryan, Ozzie Smith, and Randy Johnson. Each of these players was traded before they evolved into Hall of Famers. Still, calling the draft a "crapshoot" might be going too far. College players are " slightly more likely " than high schoolers to reach the revered stadiums of the majors, and third-rounders have a better chance than fifth-rounders, for example, though the margins are slim, as Vice reported. Teams not only make picks based on years-in-advance projections but also whether they can sign players, a step that must be completed before those youngsters begin playing professionally. To see how clubs have fared since the inaugural draft in 1965, ATS.io compiled a list of the best draft pick by each franchise using data from Baseball Reference . The players were ranked using career wins above replacement , so not one recent choice was named. The amazing Mike Trout, a 32-year-old selected in 2009, is the youngest player. Unsigned picks were not considered, and players who were traded as picks were credited to their acquiring teams.

Receive the latest in local entertainment news in your inbox weekly!Jeremy Clarkson has revealed his true incentive for purchasing a farm - indicating he thought it would offer a "better PR story if I said I bought it to avoid paying tax". The mind behind the immensely popular Amazon Prime series, 'Clarkson's Farm', ignored medical advice to join a protest against changes to agricultural inheritance tax implemented by the Labour government, marching with numerous farmers in London on Tuesday. Speaking to The Times back in 2021, Clarkson pointed out that dodging inheritance tax was "the critical thing" propelling him to acquire land. Additionally, he had expressed on the Top Gear website in 2010: "I have bought a farm. There are many sensible reasons for this: Land is a better investment than any bank can offer. The government doesn't get any of my money when I die. And the price of the food that I grow can only go up." Revisiting those remarks in a fresh interview with The Times, the ex-Top Gear host confessed: "I never did admit why I really bought it. I wanted to have a shoot - I was very naïve. I just thought it would be a better PR story if I said I bought it to avoid paying tax." Chancellor Rachel Reeves has proclaimed that from April 2025, combined business and agricultural assets exceeding £1 million would encounter a 50 per cent inheritance tax reprieve, effectively settling at a rate of 20 per cent, reports the Express . The move signalled a shift away from Agricultural Property Relief (APR), a measure aimed at easing the tax pressure on farmers, preventing them from having to sell off income-generating assets to afford the costs. Properties valued under £1 million remain exempt from inheritance tax. Despite his strong opposition to the tax amendments, Clarkson told the press he doesn't wish to become the figurehead of the campaign, stating: "It should be led by farmers." He expressed that although he doesn't see himself as a farmer, he believes his role is to "report on farming" and highlight the issue of rural poverty within the sector. "One of the problems we have on the show is we're not showing the poverty either, because obviously on Diddly Squat, there isn't any poverty," he said. "But trust me, there is absolute poverty. I'm surrounded by farmers. I'm not going out for dinner with James Dyson. It's people with 200 acres, 400 acres. Way past Rachel Reeves' threshold. They are f*****." When questioned about potentially pursuing a political career, Clarkson dismissed the idea, saying: "I'd be a terrible political leader, hopeless. I'm a journalist at heart, I prefer throwing rocks at people than having them thrown at me." On Friday, Sir Keir Starmer reaffirmed his government's commitment to supporting farmers and pensioners amidst discussions on tax reforms and the decision to restrict winter fuel payments to only the most financially vulnerable pensioners. The Prime Minister, speaking to BBC Bristol, outlined his commitment to various sectors of society: "We're for working people who need to be better off, who've really struggled over recent years." He emphasised support for the health sector, saying, "We're for everybody who wants to and needs to rely on the NHS, which is on its knees, and we've got to pick it up and we will and get those waiting lists down." On housing issues, he added, "We're for the people who absolutely need somewhere safe and secure to live that they can afford. All of that has to be paid for." The Prime Minister also expressed support for farmers and pensioners, stating, "We are also for the farmers and the pensioners." Additionally, he reiterated his stance on agricultural policy, confirming that "the vast majority of farms will be 'completely unaffected' by changes to agricultural inheritance tax."Gary Lineker has joked about his Match Of The Day departure as he hosted the show for the first time since confirming he is to step down. The BBC announced last week that Lineker will leave his role as host, which he has held since 1999, at the end of the current football season. Saturday’s episode of the football highlights programme opened with pundit Alan Shearer, Lineker’s fellow former England striker, saying direct to the camera: “All good things must come to an end.” Lineker then appeared, and said: “Yes Alan – Lee Carsley’s England reign is over. It’s back to business in the Premier League.” Despite his exit, the 63-year-old will remain with the BBC after both parties agreed to a contract extension through to the 2026 World Cup. Lineker will host BBC Sport’s coverage of the FA Cup in the 2025-26 campaign and continue presenting the Match Of The Day: Top 10 podcast for BBC Sounds, which will also host The Rest Is Football podcast, produced by Lineker’s Goalhanger Podcasts, with one episode released on the platform each week. The BBC has said future plans for Match Of The Day would be “announced in due course” with Mark Chapman, Alex Scott, Kelly Cates and Gabby Logan among those being tipped as candidates to replace him. Following the announcement, Lineker said it “has been an absolute joy and privilege to present such an iconic show for the BBC, but all things have to come to an end” on his podcast, The Rest Is Football. He added: “I bowed out in my football career when I felt it was the right time. I feel this is now the right time. “I think the next contract they’re looking to do Match Of The Day slightly differently, so I think it makes sense for someone else to take the helm.” Lineker has hosted Match Of The Day since 1999 and will have presented the show for more than a quarter of a century when he leaves in May 2025.

Israel moves to seize more Syrian land near the Golan Heights after opposition forces topple former President Bashar al-Assad. As former Syrian President Bashar al-Assad’s government falls, Israel seizes more territory in Syria’s Golan Heights. That move tears up a 50-year-old ceasefire agreement. But Israeli far-right ministers say their country’s borders should extend further – to Damascus. So what are Israel’s plans in Syria?

Albania bans TikTok for a year after killing of teenagerDALTILE HIGHLIGHTS 2024 NEW PRODUCT LAUNCHES -- END OF YEAR RECAPCITRUS farms in Florida have been battered after two hurricanes in two weeks swept over the South-eastern coast of United States between September and October this year. One of the world’s largest citrus producers, the state expects crop yields in 2024 to be at their lowest in close to 100 years after Hurricane Helene and Hurricane Milton tore through Florida. This has exacerbated beverage manufacturer F&N’s difficulties in securing its supply of orange juice, said its chief executive officer Hui Choon Kit in an interview with The Business Times. “The prices just keep going up, and we have no choice but to pass them on to customers. So that is something that’s very real to us, and the only thing we can do right now is look for alternative sourcing or alternative countries,” he added. Securing a continued supply of raw materials for the long term has been F&N’s primary focus in managing its climate-related risks over the last few years. Supply chain disruptions during the Covid-19 pandemic and uncertainties in the production of raw materials due to the increasing frequency of severe weather events have led Hui to turn to local sourcing as a key risk management strategy. “If I cannot get my raw materials, our factories will go down. We need to make sure that we have sources of supply that can take us through the next 20, 30, 40, 50 years. Otherwise we have to close shop,” he said. To this end, the company is in the midst of developing its first large-scale dairy farm in Malaysia in its bid to go upstream. Construction of the first phase of the farm is expected to be completed soon. However, F&N has announced that milk production, which was originally intended to begin in January next year, could be delayed by between six and 12 months, as the Malaysian government has suspended the import of dairy cows from the US due to an avian flu outbreak. The dairy farm is meant to be a one-stop shop providing a reliable supply of milk to F&N – this involves growing its own animal feed for the cows. The company is also looking to incorporate technological solutions that will mitigate methane emissions at the farm. “I never thought we’d become farmers... When I joined the company 20 years ago, I never thought we would go upstream. But it is just such that, in order to grow that business, we need to have reliable supply,” said Hui. “The primary objective is to be able to develop or to deliver products in a reliable way to our customers, and we know that the quality is there,” he added. In addition to having a stable supply, building the farm in Malaysia – which is one of F&N’s biggest markets – also means situating production closer to market. This would lower logistical costs, as well as the emissions that would arise from transportation. This would also provide Malaysian consumers greater accessibility to fresh milk – a healthier option than powdered or recombined milk, which is made by mixing water, milk powder and milk fats. The country consumes more milk than it produces locally. Dairy, so far, is the only commodity for which it makes business sense for F&N to go upstream. However, Hui does not discount similar opportunities for other commodities in the future. That being said, there are some raw materials not suitable for cultivation in South-east Asia’s tropical climate. One of them is soybean. A major ingredient in one of F&N’s product lines, soybean is best grown in cold temperatures. Finding the right suppliers allows the crop to be grown in an environmentally responsible and also financially sustainable manner. “We also need to make sure that these guys can continue to support us in the future. They have their practices such that they can continue to supply soy,” said Hui. F&N sources soybeans entirely from Canada, due to deforestation concerns in other markets. That being said, Hui acknowledges that customers might still have to get used to changes in the formulation and taste of some beverages, as the company may sometimes have to switch to alternative sources despite their best efforts to maintain supply from their usual partners. “Customers like a certain taste, and that’s why they keep coming back to us. But we also have no choice but to work with them so they can understand that we cannot always be getting the same ingredients or raw materials. So then, you will have to get used to some tweaks in the taste. But that is just a reality that we face. I don’t think we have a real solution as to how that can be resolved quickly,” he said. “We’re all creatures of comfort. We like what we’re used to, but when you’re faced with no choice, I think people will switch and say: ‘Okay, I can accept this.’” Notwithstanding the long-term challenges in maintaining a stable procurement network, F&N is also relying on product innovation to access new markets and customers, especially Malaysia and Thailand, which are the biggest contributors to its revenue. Given that soft drink beverages have generally appealed to younger customers, the company is looking to develop health-focused products for older customers – including the elderly – such as soy-based drinks. “That is something that we are working towards to capture a larger segment – looking at more times in the day that you will consume a product,” he added. Leveraging on the wellness trend has been beneficial for the company, as its zero-sugar beverages, such as 100 Plus Zero Sugar, have been quite well-received, said Hui. It is currently working with health-related institutes to develop beverages that could be clinically proven to be healthier. “We still believe that the product must taste good. We’re not selling medicine,” said Hui. The food and beverage segment continues to be the biggest contributor to F&N’s revenue. According to the latest earnings update for its entire fiscal year ended Sep 30, 2024, the segment recorded a 4 per cent increase in revenue to S$1.9 billion, while profits jumped 21 per cent compared with the previous financial year. Overall, the company’s revenue increased by 3 per cent to S$2.2 billion, and its net profit rose 13 per cent to S$150.2 million. However, the group’s overall performance was dragged down by its publishing and printing segment, with revenue declining by 9 per cent to S$201.3 million due to reduced print orders and the closure of unprofitable business units. While the company has started a sustainable packaging and printing line, it is not enough to offset the declines in traditional printing, noted Hui. F&N will focus on its growing educational consulting and content business in this segment. The company is working with education ministries overseas to develop educational content and textbooks, and to train teachers in their use. “That has proven to gain some traction, and we hope that it will then create a momentum of its own, as other countries start looking and say: “I want to upgrade my workforce as well.’” Shares of F&N have increased considerably, jumping 25 per cent from July this year when Thai Beverage (ThaiBev) announced its plans for a share swap agreement with F&N and Frasers Property. Responding to comments that its shares have been undervalued, Hui said that F&N will work together with ThaiBev – which is now the company’s majority shareholder after the share swap deal – to figure out how to build a clearer future for the group. “So when it comes to valuation, that is something that’s very difficult to talk about. What we’ve always said is that what we can do is to make sure that our business continues to deliver and grow and give good returns to shareholders.” Hui acknowledged that F&N’s very small free float of 12 per cent makes it difficult to attract institutional investors. “So it becomes a bit of a chicken-and-egg (issue). Unless our valuation is higher, they would not be very keen for us to to increase the float,” he said.

GREENSBORO, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Nov 21, 2024-- Tanger® (NYSE: SKT) , a leading owner and operator of outlet and open-air retail shopping destinations, has earned additional recognition from national certification programs for taking steps to address climate change and enhance well-being at its centers. With these actions, Tanger now has achieved LEED certification for 20 centers, or 58% of its owned and managed portfolio by gross leasable area. Additionally, Tanger has expanded recognition of its centers as StormReady® and WELL Health-Safety Rated. This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20241121075293/en/ Tanger Outlets Nashville is the 20th Tanger shopping center to achieve LEED certification. The open-air outlet center in Nashville, Tennessee, which opened last year, was designed with extensive features – like on-site solar energy infrastructure – that help to address the impacts of climate change and enhance community well-being, in support of Tanger’s overall sustainability commitments. Photo credit: Tanger “As a key part of Tanger’s mission, we strive to deliver the best experience for all who shop, dine and work in and around our shopping destinations. Providing for the well-being of our communities through sustainable, healthy operations is a vital part of that commitment,” said Jessica Norman, Executive Vice President, General Counsel and Secretary for Tanger, who oversees the company’s environmental, social, and governance program and disclosures. “These recognitions from respected benchmark programs verify the steps we’ve taken to prepare our centers for the impacts of a changing climate and have positioned us to better serve the needs of our communities, in keeping with our core value to consider our communities first.” LEED Tanger Outlets Nashville in Tennessee has achieved LEED Silver® certification for Building Design and Construction (BD+C): Core and Shell Development from the U.S. Green Building Council. LEED® is the world's most widely used green building rating system, recognizing best-in-class building strategies and practices. With this certification, Tanger Nashville becomes the 20th shopping center in Tanger’s portfolio to be certified in the LEED program and Tanger’s third retail development to achieve BD+C certification for addressing carbon impacts in the design and construction process. Tanger Nashville’s transformational design supports sustainability through on-site solar energy production, water use reduction systems, low-emitting materials, lighting controls, electric vehicle charging, and more. The center fosters engagement and well-being through ease of access, walkability, green and gathering spaces, an extensive mural arts program, and restaurants, retail brands, and experiences that celebrate the local culture and community. Opened in October 2023, the development has also helped to revitalize the Southeast Nashville community that surrounds it, fueling job creation, economic health, and business growth in the area. Earlier this year, the Nashville chapter of the Urban Land Institute recognized Tanger Nashville with a 2024 Excellence in Development Award for being one of the best and most innovative projects in the region and for its positive impacts on the community. Tanger Nashville will next pursue LEED Gold® for Operations and Maintenance (O+M) certification, as will Bridge Street Town Centre, Tanger’s open-air lifestyle shopping destination in Huntsville, Alabama. Tanger has 18 other shopping centers that have achieved LEED Gold O+M certification (one of which also achieved BD+C certification), reflecting Tanger’s deep commitment to best-in-class, sustainable operations across its portfolio. StormReady Tanger has also taken steps to mitigate the potential impacts of severe weather on its operations, for the benefit of all who work and shop at its centers. Tanger partners with the U.S. Department of Commerce and National Weather Service to ensure its shopping centers are “StormReady” and has been recognized as a Weather-Ready Nation Ambassador of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association. These programs help communities strengthen local safety programs and preparation skills needed to protect lives and property in extreme weather and water events. The scenario-specific Weather-Ready plans Tanger maintains at its centers have helped its local team members remain safe and mitigate property damage during events like this year’s devastating hurricanes. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, Tanger’s center in Asheville, North Carolina, was well prepared to support the community, hosting emergency responders on-site and quickly restoring business operations to serve residents and business partners. WELL Health and Safety As part of its commitment to the well-being of people at its centers, Tanger achieved and has maintained the WELL Health-Safety Rating for Facility Operations and Management for all the shopping centers it owned and managed in the U.S. in 2022. This year, Tanger Outlets Nashville also achieved this Rating, and the two newest additions to Tanger’s portfolio, in Huntsville, AL, and Asheville, NC, are expected to achieve it in 2025. A component of the International WELL Building Institute’s WELL Building Standard, the WELL Health-Safety Rating recognizes owners and operators like Tanger that prioritize the health and safety of their team members, visitors, and stakeholders. Tanger also participates in the WELL at Scale program to maintain its WELL Ratings more efficiently and benchmark its health and well-being efforts across the portfolio.
