“Ports, Progress, and People”
Mayor Thurman Bartie of Port Arthur, Texas, joins me for a candid conversation about resilience and vision in the just-published episode of
Community Catalysts.
Port Arthur is a distinctive Gulf Coast city, renowned for its deep-water ports, essential role in the petrochemical industry, and growing prominence as a hub for liquefied natural gas exports. With over 57,000 residents, it also boasts a rich cultural history, a thriving shrimp and fish industry, and a diverse community shaped by global trade. But Port Arthur’s story goes beyond industry—its downtown is in the midst of a significant revitalization, aiming to blend historic charm with modern development.
Mayor Bartie shares insights about championing industrial development while ensuring the benefits reach all residents and revitalizing Port Arthur's neighborhoods and downtown area.
