Port Houston’s Economic Development team provides a broad range of support for existing and prospective companies looking to import and export goods via the Houston Ship Channel. Our team works collaboratively with corporations and organizations to attract and retain businesses that benefit from Port Houston’s facilities.

Port Houston Economic Development

The port has relationships with more than 50 local and regional economic development groups, including the Texas Governor’s Office for Economic Development. Because Houston is a leading location for import and export-oriented manufacturing, the city is experiencing a renewed wave of interest from national logistics communities to create new distribution centers.

Port Houston’s Economic Development team works together with our partners to help bolster the area’s economic vitality. We also serve as a primary point of contact for Houston’s industrial real estate community to engage with and promote global commerce in our region.
