USA sponsors ACIT South Texas & ABC Economic Outlook Event in Corpus Christi
ACIT South Texas joined with the Associated Builders and Contractors (ABC) to co-host an Economic Outlook Forum on January 17th at the Ortiz International Center in Corpus Christi.
Nearly 200 people attended the event to hear industry forecasts from panelists including: Frank Brogan with the Port of Corpus Christi; Sonny Loudon, Vice President at CITGO (refineries economic outlook); Tom Russell, President & CEO of Sherwin Alumina Company (chemicals economic outlook); and Fuat Sezer, President & District Manager, Kiewit Offshore Services.
TCC President Hector Rivero also provided attendees with an overview of several key legislative issues facing the chemical industry and an update about the Texas state primary election, which has been delayed as a result of lawsuits over Congressional and State House & Senate redistricting maps.
