The Trinity River Authority of Texas and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers invite the public to attend a town hall for the unveiling of the Port of Liberty Vision Plan on March 19, 2025, at 4 p.m. at the A.J. “Jack” Hartel Building, 318 San Jacinto Street, Liberty, Texas. No reservation is needed to attend.
This meeting is a critical step toward presenting the draft plan and listening to the community to help further shape the plan, which covers matters such as the best and highest uses of land, navigation of the Trinity River, economic development, environmental stewardship, and multi-modal transportation.
A letter of support for the development of the Port of Liberty from the Mayor of the City of Liberty, John Hebert, Jr. underscores the importance of ports to the growth and development of the state of Texas.
The mayor wrote: “Texas ports are responsible for over 30 percent of the Texas gross domestic product and are integral to Texas manufacturing and energy. However, Texas ports and manufacturing face an unprecedented competitive threat as ports in neighboring states are beating Texas in the race to improve their depth and infrastructure to meet the opportunities created by the new, deeper Panama Canal. Texas cannot afford to fall behind.”
Public involvement is important. For more information about this town hall, call or email Amy Stelter at 682-551-8376, steltera@trinityra.org.
