Healthy Port Communities Coalition Community Forum

Port Houston and Army Corps of Engineers are about to begin a billion-dollar, multiyear expansion of the Houston Ship Channel – known as “Project 11.”

In the second week of October, Port Houston called a special meeting to approve contracts for Project 11. In that meeting, they showed that they are willing to listen to advocacy by the Healthy Port Communities Coalition partners. After listening to our testimony, Commissioners approved a contract to dredge the first segment of the Ship Channel expansion using equipment with cleaner engines.

Want to learn more about what the Healthy Port Communities Coalition did and how you can ensure that community and clean air are put first? They will be joined by Harris County Pollution Control Services to discuss air pollution, its effects, and how they are demanding change.

Please attend this important Town Hall and add your voice to theirs.
