We have posted several pieces about the Port’s Plans for San Patricio County and, most recently, the 3,000 acres being purchased between McCampbell Airport and the Aransas Pass Lowes. Below, you will see portions of a presentation made to the Portland Planning and Zoning Commission on Oct. 9.
In keeping with their lack of transparency, the industries are only named Project(s) Dynamo and Falcon. Exxon’s project was known as Project Yosemite before they had to reveal themselves.
It is increasingly apparent that these industries will be locating where they will have a major health impact on Ingleside, Aransas Pass and Rockport. It is also clear that industrial wastewater and stormwater will have to flow into either Corpus Christi Bay or Port Bay, or both.
Beginning Monday, Oct. 15, canvasser’s from the Texas Campaign for the Environment will be knocking on doors in Sinton, Gregory, Ingleside, Portland, Mathis, and Aransas Pass. They will have literature on emissions and health impacts, and will be seeking opinions on the Exxon plant and this additional industrial expansion.
In its effort to become the Port of the Americas, the Port will forever change our way of life and the delicate ecosystem we so enjoy.
