Oklahoma, Colorado & Plains States Benefit from Ports-to-Plains Event in Eagle, Texas

September’s Ports to Plains event prioritizes future infrastructure projects. “Support to expand the Ports to Plains path will connect Eagle Pass, Texas and Mexico to other areas that are not traditionally thought of as having connectivity to a major port, such as the panhandle, Colorado and Oklahoma,” “Our goal is to drum up more support for the designation of the Ports to Plains path in order to build its infrastructure to ensure economic growth along the different communities that it serves,” said  Arturo Marquez, Director of Eagle Pass Economic Development. “Easy connectivity benefits these communities as well.”

One of the co-hosts for the Ports-to-Plains Alliance 2023 Annual Conference September 13-15, 2023, in Eagle Pass, Texas, is the Ports-to-Plains Alliance. The organization is a non-profit, bipartisan, grassroots alliance of more than 200 partner communities and businesses across nine states.

“The Ports to Plains Alliance is made up of over 200 different communities that make up the path and travels north across Texas starting from Laredo and ending in Denver, Colorado. By working together, we can attract infrastructure projects that will help all our communities grow,” said  Arturo Marquez, Director of Eagle Pass Economic Development.
