Corpus Christi (KIII News) — The Port of Corpus Christi received some national recognition this week. They won the "Deal of the Year" award at a big ceremony in Houston.
The award comes from Lloyd’s List, a shipping industry publication that recognizes commercial enterprises that demonstrate a commitment to safety, innovation in technology and boldness in business.
The Port received the award for its lease agreement with Gulf Coast Growth Ventures, the company leasing the 13-acre multipurpose cargo dock and a 35-acre marine terminal facility for the construction of an ethylene steam cracker. That multi-billion dollar project will create more than 600 permanent jobs in the Coastal Bend.
