Port Arthur, Texas — According to state and local economic development sources City of Port Arthur plans to invest $7,275,000.00 to build out 45,000 square feet of new space in Port Arthur. The company plans to occupy the new space at 549 4th St in Port Arthur, on or about October 1, 2020. According to the company website Port Arthur has celebrated more than 100 years as a Gulf Coast city, but its timeline is only a fraction of the greater history of the region’s inhabitants. The earliest attempt at permanently settling the area was the community of Aurora, located in what is now historic Port Arthur. Some lots were sold around 1840, but the project failed to take off. The area was abandoned by the time Port Arthur was established. Today Port Arthur is the home of several major refineries and still the important terminus of the Kansas City Southern railroad.
