What is the Port Freeport Community Advisory Panel?
Community Advisory Panel
Port Freeport is ranked among the Nation’s top 30 ports. As an economic driver in Brazoria County, the region, and Texas, Port Freeport is committed to keeping local communities informed of our current operations, future activities, and financial status. To support this commitment, Port Freeport’s Commission and the Chief Executive Officer formed the “Community Advisory Panel.”
The Community Advisory Panel (C.A.P.), formerly known as “Krewe of Port Freeport,” was established in 2009. The purpose of C.A.P. is to foster a partnership centered on transparency and education while collecting feedback from respected members of the Port Freeport Community who have diverse backgrounds and perspectives. Members of the panel serve as liaisons and advocates for Port Freeport within their communities.
