CHAMBER STAFF ATTENDS GCCE CONFERENCE
The Gulf Coast Chamber Executives monthly conference was held in the Space Center at NASA - Clear Lake on Friday, April 22nd. The conference brings together representatives from chambers of commerce throughout the region. Staff from the Liberty-Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce were in attendance.
This month's meeting focused on flooding and storm surge problems from hurricanes that affect our area, and plans to alleviate those problems. Bob Mitchell, President of Bay Area Houston Economic Partnership, presented a program called Coastal Spine Storm Surge Protection Initiative. Known as "Ike's Dike", the effort is "a projected $6 billion coastal spine which seeks to protect the Port of Houston from a 10,000 year flood".
More information can be found at Texas A&M's College of Architecture Research Symposium site. Attendees were also treated to breakfast sponsored by Solodex, and lunch sponsored by Boeing.
