The Board serves as a sounding board for ideas, policies, and reflects the thinking of a broad spectrum of businesses in the Greater Port Arthur area.

TRANSPORTATION BY RON ARCENEAUX Still today, our region’s transportation infrastructure plays a key role in the well-being of the community. The combined highway, waterway, rail, pipeline, and aviation transportation systems are strong links in the commercial and industrial network serving our area. The movement of people and goods is the backbone of economic development. In the Golden Triangle, nearly 110,000 vehicles pass through the region on Interstate 10 every day. A half dozen state and US highways also meet in the region, making the Golden Triangle a hub for national and international commerce and transportation. The Sabine-Neches Waterway, the nation’s fourth-largest ship channel, is America’s energy gateway. Each day, ships dock to more than 60 terminals and link the world to the region’s extensive industrial infrastructure system, which feeds a growing state and energy-hungry nation. Additionally, cargo moves along rail infrastructure operated by the Kansas City Railroad and Union Pacific Railroad. Since the discovery of oil in Beaumont in 1901, the region’s pipeline transportation system has grown to reach all US hubs and worldwide markets for refined oil products and natural gas. The Jack Brooks Regional Airport offers daily commuter connections to Houston and Dallas by major commercial airlines. Thus, our region’s goals for transportation improvements are to: � Support improved highways, ports of entry, and other infrastructure that facilitates trade, increases the effective flow of goods and services, promotes tourism, and increases public safety wherever these improvements can improve economic opportunity and productivity. � Support any opportunities available to the Legislature or state agencies to facilitate ongoing efforts to improve the maintenance and modernization of commercial waterways and ports. Support seeking funding through the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) or other sources, and support state agency review and coordination of federal or state permits or authorizations. Further, support the continued priority of use of the State Highway Fund (Fund 6) for marine transportation needs. • Support any opportunities available to the Legislature or state agencies to facilitate ongoing efforts to improve the maintenance and modernization of commercial waterways and ports.

Economic Development Your Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce plays an active role in economic development, with an emphasis on supporting and promoting the existing business community. It’s baked into our mission statement—to achieve a sound economic environment—and our vision statement—to be an economic catalyst that ignites partnerships that will positively impact growth and development in the community. The chamber’s work is organized into committees made up of member volunteers. Because economic development is central to the chamber’s mission and vision, the work of all of those committees touch on some aspect of economic development—from workforce development to transportation to education and legislation. The chamber has recently formed a committee to focus principally on economic development. We are neither the only nor the primary organization doing this work, but our emphasis on businesses who have already committed to and invested in Port Arthur is unique. There are nearly 1,600 separate places of employment in Port Arthur, from small businesses with just one or two workers to hospitals and petrochemical facilities with hundreds of employees, but nearly 60 percent of Port Arthur businesses have fewer than 10 employees. Our hope is that the new economic development committee will provide an increased focus on growing Port Arthur’s economy by working with these businesses to identify opportunities, including greater emphasis on our “Buy Port Arthur” efforts and connecting them with other resources. What can the business community do to support these efforts? First and foremost, active membership in the chamber ensures your business both supports and benefits from the chamber’s vision of being an economic catalyst igniting partnerships. Second, we urge you to make a commitment to patronizing Port Arthur businesses, generally, and other chamber members, specifically. You can find a list of chamber members on the chamber website, www.portarthurtexas.com. While the economic development committee will place an emphasis on supporting and growing the existing Port Arthur business community, we will also work alongside other economic development organizations, including the Port Arthur EDC, the City of Port Arthur, the Port of Port Arthur, and others, to create new investment and jobs to further grow and diversify the economy of Port Arthur.

Arthur E. Stilwell, at age 34 a legendary pioneer in the fields of insurance, transportation and finance, came to the southeastern coast of Texas in 1895. Acting on a hunch, Stilwell built the Port Arthur Canal from Sabine Pass to Taylor’s Bayou. He created a deep-water port, “a landlocked harbor, safe from the most devastating storms,” naming it Port Arthur after himself. With the arrival of the British steamer Saint Oswald in August 1899, the port was opened for seagoing shipping. Stilwell proceeded to procure over $2 million in financing, and on March 17, 1897, the first excursion train arrived over the newly completed Kansas City, Pittsburg & Gulf Railroad. Stilwell founded the city of Port Arthur in 1898. Port Arthur pioneers promptly set to work creating homes and businesses for the hundreds of people who would come to Southeast Texas - farmers, seamen, businessmen, and their families. Stilwell built the magnificent Sabine Hotel on Lakeshore Drive, a natatorium to serve all the citizens, an export pier into Lake Sabine, and also brought 300 Dutch colonists to begin a new life as farmers in this rich coastal prairie. In 1899, Stilwell invited his friend, John W. Gates, to visit Port Arthur. Gates was feted at a magnificent banquet in the Sabine Hotel and quickly decided that he, too, wanted an interest in the development of this new and promising town. Upon being denied a position on the Board of the KCP&G Railroad, he promptly - by questionable means - had Stilwell’s interests declared bankrupt, making himself president of the
newly named Kansas City Southern Railroad. With this inauspicious beginning, Gates became the moving force in the development of Port Arthur. Aided by the effects of the Spindletop Gusher in 1901, he built the Mary Gates Hospital in 1909, and founded the Port Arthur Business College the same year (now Lamar State College Port Arthur). Gates built a magnificent home on Lakeshore Drive at a cost of $50,000.
History of Port Arthur
16 | Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce 2021
The Texas Company and the Gulf Refining Company were created as a result of the Lucas Gusher at Spindletop in 1901. The thriving shipping industry, mainly petrochemical products, was instrumental in Port Arthur becoming a port of entry in 1906. By 1957, Port Arthur was known as the center of the world’s prosperous oil refining industry. Today Port Arthur has a large, diversified and talented workforce. Port Arthur was the first city in Texas to adopt the 12-grade school system, setting the pace for all Texas schools to follow. Faith-based and private schools are at home in the area also. They city is governed by the council-manager form of government and is home to over 160 churches. The population consists of many ethnic groups, each contributing their own specific talents and lifestyles to the area. Citizens of Port Arthur have become considerably renowned - Robert Rauschenberg; Allen Shivers; Congressional Medal of Honor recipient Staff Sgt. Lucian Adams; Jimmy Johnson; Janis Joplin; Evelyn Keyes; Buddy Ben; Mack H. Hannah, Jr.; G.W. Bailey, and many others. These outstanding individuals and many others are honored in the Museum of the Gulf Coast in downtown Port Arthur.

Banking is not everyone’s passion. But it is ours. The people that are best at what they do are passionate about it. And yes, that even applies to banking. Our pulse quickens a little when we provide financing for a company’s new inventory, or help a business switch to digital invoicing. It’s a thrill like no other. To us, anyway. So while some people may think of bankers as boring, our intense passion for what we do is what makes us better when it comes to business banking.

Port Arthur ISD Port Arthur Independent School District (PAISD) continues to push forward to become a leader in Texas through continuous school improvement by offering to its students a quality education necessary for them to achieve academic excellence. The District’s mission, as the primary source of public education in the community, is to meet the unique educational needs of our diverse population by providing a comprehensive quality education for students. PAISD is home to over 8,000 students and over 1,300 employees. The District has 16 campuses. With the passing of the $195 million bond in November 2014, the District constructed a brand new wing for Tyrrell Elementary School and constructed new buildings for Memorial 9th Grade Academy, Sam Houston, Travis and Port Acres Elementary Schools, with more construction on the horizon. Our district has completely eliminated all portable buildings, increased technology in every building as well as increased security district-wide. The District continues to foster a positive working relationship with Lamar State College-Port Arthur that will only continue to increase each year. The District opened the Wilson Early College High School in August 2017 and in 2020, the District graduated its first class of students from the program that have both an Associate’s degree and a high school diploma! This program is free of charge to parents. The District also continues its coenrollment program with LSC-PA. Our Career and Technical Education (CATE) program provides our students the opportunity to achieve access to the work force through hands-on training. Many of our students graduate with certificates in hand and job offers on the table. The District’s summer enrichment programs continue to prepare our students for the upcoming school year. Our Technology Department revamped the online student registration portal for the summer of 2020 to much success. This process allows parents to register their child for school 24/7 without having to leave the comforts of their home. The District continues to improve on its goal to increase the visibility of its students and programs. Every campus has a social media presence. Our website has gone through a makeover which makes visibility more accessible for those using mobile devices and can be translated in over 100 different languages. Every campus has a digital marquee and the District has a YouTube channel displaying the monthly Board meetings. Our Fine Arts and Athletics departments continue to push our students toward excellence. Our male and female athletes perform exceedingly and abundantly above their counterparts, where they continue to shatter records in all facets of the sports area. Our drama and band students earn top rankings at UIL competitions across the state and earn the most money in scholarships nearly every year. Our Personnel department focuses on the best practices in hiring highly qualified, certified teachers and placing them in every classroom in this district. Our Business and Finance department operates at or below our projected expenditures and our
22 | Greater Port Arthur Chamber of Commerce 2021
Bilingual and Migrant Education department works intensely with those that are new to this country and ensures them a smooth transition into our educational system. Our Curriculum and Instruction department is home to over a dozen leaders that work intensely with teachers and principals to keep our students on task to graduate. Our External Funding department works with campus nurses, security, parental involvement, Title I and more. Our Child Nutrition department feeds our children healthy and tasty food on a daily basis at no cost to the parent. Our district, like many, had to pivot quickly from in-person instruction to virtual learning in March 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic, but even with those challenges, we have made it possible for every student to be successful. The Board of Trustees approved a $2.5 million purchase for tablets and hot spots in July 2020. This purchase allowed the district to put a device in the hands of every student as well as provide free Wi-Fi access for those that need it the most. We also began using the Schoology Learning Management System (LMS) district-wide, which will make the transition from virtual to in-person instruction more seamless. PAISD is offering all students the option of receiving instruction virtually or in-person for the 2020-2021 school year. Our Child Nutrition Department is providing meals both on and off-campus and our Technology team works around the clock to provide technical solutions to students and staff and every building is equipped with an infrared thermometer designed to detect high temperatures. Everything we are doing and will continue to do aligns with this year’s theme: “Reopen. Reconnect. Reimagine.” Education is essential to the success of our nation and in Port Arthur ISD, we are ready to make success happen every day.
