The anticipated channel user fee for Project 11 now has a meeting scheduled for May 21.

Happy Tuesday!

Did anyone see the Greater Houston Port Bureau’s (GHPB) Newsletter on May 14, 2024, they mention an announcement from the Port of Houston Authority titled, “Port of Houston Authority special public meeting, May 21 for the proposed channel user fee for Project 11”?   The announcement is in regard to a Notice from the Port of Houston Authority in regard to a Special Public Meeting on May 21, 2024, after their regularly scheduled Port Commission public meeting.   The Port of Houston Authority is having a meeting on the proposed channel user fee which will be used to help fund the Houston Ship Channel Expansion – Project 11.  Project 11 timeline has been sped up which means higher costs to the Houston Ship Channel users.  The special meeting will address several topics which include the possible user fee structure, the timeline of what has been invested in Project 11 to date, and what needs to happen to complete the project.  The meeting location has limited capacity, so they have made available a weblink, so one may attend virtually.  Attendees who would like to speak may register to address the Port Commission, please see the announcement for details.  If you would like more information on the Port of Houston Authority’s Special Public Meeting announcement including location, time and weblink, please click the link: Notices & Alerts - Port Houston.
