Houston, TX: Port of Houston is the 10th largest port in world; 2nd largest petrochemical complex in world, receiving 150,000 barge calls. These were some of the statistics presented by the Port of Houston Authority (PHA) Commissioner James Edmonds and Executive Director Thomas Kornegay, as the PHA celebrated the 6th anniversary of the Small Business Development Program of PHA.
Mistress of the Ceremonies was Melinda Spaulding, Anchor at KRIV Fox 26 News. Prominent speakers on the occasion included the Honorable Ed Emmett, Harris County Judge; Honorable Sylvia Garcia, Harris County Commissioner, Precinct 2; Honorable Sue Lovell, Vice Mayor Pro-Tem City of Houston Council and Kase Lawal, PHA Commissioner and Chairman of Small Business Task Force. In attendance were several elected officials, their staff members, special guests and prominent entrepreneurs of the region.
Commissioner James Edmonds and Mr. Kornegay informed that over $203.70 million worth of projects have been given to small enterprises since the inception of the program six years ago. This would mean 37% of small business participation in PHA projects. More than 1,100 small businesses are registered in the program and the number is increasing every day. Terence Cheng of TSC, Inc. and Gary Crouch of Crouch Environmental Services, Inc. were given special recognition as the "Biz Champions' for Year 2007".
Hon. Judge Ed Emmett said that over the years with ever increasing trade via PHA, the port has changed the very economic and social fabric of the region.
