The Economic Alliance Houston Port Region, a non-profit organization created in 1985, provides professional economic development services on behalf of sixteen communities surrounding the 25-mile Houston Ship Channel - home to one of the world’s most influential energy corridor and trade ports.

In addition to the port region cities, the Economic Alliance services are also funded by 12 Chambers of Commerce, Harris County, the Port of Houston Authority and private businesses. In the past five years alone, the Economic Alliance has facilitated activities to help bring approximately 300 million dollars of capital investment to the area. Businesses are attracted to an advantageous tax structure; a legislative and regulatory climate conducive to businesses; strong infrastructure; and vibrant assistance programs for incentives, financing, workforce development, and business site selection.

An urban revitalization plan, named Project Stars, is another initiative created by the Economic Alliance; for more on this visit the region's newly created historic district, click the logo below.

The footprint of the Economic Alliance falls under the jurisdiction of Harris County Precinct 2 Commissioner Sylvia R. Garcia.
