Welcome to Portland Building Community and Raising Families: Enduring Growth and Civic Pride

By Shelby O’Brien, Director of Communications and Marketing, City of Portland The City of Portland is asmall coastal city next to Corpus Christi. Over the past two decades, Portland has undergone a remarkable transformation, witnessing a staggering 63 percent surge in population. In recent years, the City has pursued the maximum annexations allowed under State law each year to accommodate the population growth.

This bedroom community has grown into a destiation for families seeking a warm, family community as well as a tourism hotspot for sports and other outdoor recreation.

The source of Portland’s recent surge is a nearby bustling industrial sector, which has seen an astonishing $37 billion in development just beyond the city’s borders over the past decade. This figure accounts for nearly 70 percent of the entire $57 billion industrial investment in the region since the early 2000s. Yet, along with the promise of economic growth, a profound challenge looms-how to preserve Portland’s essence amid the whirlwind of change.

Longtime residents voice concerns about keeping the City’s familial values and close-knit community spirit in the face of rapid urbanization and an influx of newcomers.

In response, City leaders have embarked on a mission to navigate the delicate balance between progress and tradition, reaffirming Portland’s dedication to familyoriented values, safety, and the essence of livability.

Enter the “Building Community and Raising Families” program, a visionary intiative by the City of Portland. This

Portland’s Countryside

Violet Andrews Park multifaceted endeavor rallies residents around a shared commitment to preserving their City’s identit. At its heart lies a poignant tagline: “Building community and Raising Families,” encapsulating Portland’s enduring dedication to its core principles. The program’s implementation involved strategic collaborations with local partners, including the engagement of Knightstorm Productions, LLC, to produce compelling visual content educating residents and showcasing Portland’s vibrant community spirit.

Knightstorm Productions has produced over 40 videos over the last two years for the City - or nearly two videos per month. This collaboration uses the power of visual sstorytelling to captivate hearts and minds. From live broadcasts of cherished traditions to engaging promotional and educational content, these visuals serve as a testament to the City’s resilience and unity. You can viw the videos on Portland’s YouTube channel.

Central to this storytelling arsenal is an emotive narrative short film, bearing the program’s namesake. Following the life journey of a fictional resident, the story weaves a tepestry of emotions, subtly highlighting the City’s allure and charm. From idyllic coastal vistas to bustling community gatherings, every frame resonates with the essence of Portland, celebrating the profound connection between thriving communities and happy families.

Beyond its artistic meris, this short film serves as a powerful ambassador, beckoning tourists, and potential residents to experience Portland’s unique offerings. Through strategic partnerships with locl takeholders, including the GregoryPortland Independent School District and the Portland Chamber of Commerce, the film paints an authentic portrait of the City’s beauty and vitality.

This film’s digital debut on social media platforms sparked a widespread acclaim, resonaing with natives and newcomers alike. As it continues to be shared at

16 Portland, Texas 2024

employemnt recruitment events, realtors’ conferences, and degital marketing campaigns, this film stands as a testament to Portland’s commitment to fostering connection and belonging.

As the first of its kind in the region, this film, alongside a host of other educational and informative video content, not only bolsters civic pride but also establishes a visual legacy of Portland’s core values, ensuring they endure for generations to come. With excitement and anticipation, the City looks ahead, eager to build upon this creative legacy and forge deeper connections with residents and visitors.

Leisure and Entertainment District Old Town Transformation

The City of Portland has identified the historically significant "Old Town" area as an opportunity for growth and revitalization. Recognizing its current underdevelopment, city officials have embarked on a mission to transform this district into a vibrant hub that benefits all Portland residents. Revitalizing historic areas has repeatedly shown to spark economic growth, leading to increased commercial property tax and sales tax revenues, ultimately lightening the tax burden on our citizens.

To achieve this vision, the City engaged a consulting firm to explore various strategies for attracting commercial interest while ensuring the area remains accessible and enjoyable for people of all ages. After extensive consultation with community members, businesses, and homeowners, it was determined that establishing a special leisure and entertainment district (LED) would be the most effective path forward. As part of this initiative, special considerations were made for alcohol sales within the LED, providing a unique experience for residents and visitors alike.

Navigating the regulatory landscape, the City successfully advocated for legislative changes tailored specifically to Portland's needs. Thanks to the support of the Texas Legislature and Portland voters, the proposition to create the LED and permit special alcohol sales passed with overwhelming approval during the May 2022 election.

22 Portland, Texas 2024

With the green light from the community, the City wasted no time in taking action. A city block in the heart of Old Town was acquired and earmarked for development into a central park within the LED. This strategic investment marks the beginning of a new chapter for the area.

To involve the community in the planning process, the City launched the "Families on 5th" event series, providing residents and visitors with a glimpse of the exciting future ahead. The feedback received has been invaluable, shaping the design process as the City collaborates with architecture firms to bring the vision to life.

Excitement is building as Portland eagerly anticipates the transformation of Old Town into a thriving destination for

The Port of Corpus Christi Established in 1922, the Port of Corpus Christi is a landlord port authority that manages over 30,000 acres in both San Patricio and Nueces Counties. The Port plays a critical role not only in the global energy marketplace, but also for the state of Texas and nation. Port of Corpus Christi-related activities support over 56,500 jobs in San Patricio, Nueces and Aransas counties, benefiting local governments such as the City of Portland and the surrounding communities with increased tax revenues, economic development and job creation.

On the national stage, the Port of Corpus Christi is the leading U.S. energy export gateway and the third-largest port in the United States in total waterborne tonnage. It is also the world’s third-largest crude oil export gateway and the number one crude oil export gateway in the United States, helping to reduce the nation’s trade deficit.

Strategically located on the western Gulf of Mexico with a 36-mile, soon to be 54-foot Mean Lower Low Water (MLLW) deep ship channel, the Port of Corpus Christi is a major gateway for international and domestic maritime commerce. It boasts excellent railroad and highway network connectivity via three North American Class-1 railroads, two major interstate highways and multiple transcontinental pipelines. These all provide immediate access to markets from the U.S. Midwest to Mexico and beyond.

The Port of Corpus Christi set a number of records in 2023 on its way to setting a new annual benchmark exceeding 200 million tons of cargo moved during the year for the first time in its history. That included a new quarterly record in Q4 2023 at 51.8 million tons and a new monthly crude oil export record in December 2023 by moving 2.6 million barrels per day during the month.
