There has been an abundance of building in all areas of POC. A few new businesses have also sprung up. I’ve seen more people coming into our community than ever before. Some residents do not like this, but in order for Port O’Connor to survive, it’s a must. In the years I have lived here, I’ve seen many changes. In the 60’s there was oil businesses, shrimping and oystering to keep businesses going, then the oil business moved down the coast; then, due to the change in laws, no one could make a living shrimping or oystering. As of now we depend on tourism to keep this community alive. This seems to be our last resource and this is making our community a wonderful place to live and visit.

The Chamber is made up of volunteers. We’re always looking for more help and ideas. If you would like to become a member, go to portoconnorchamber.com or give us a call.

Looking forward to seeing everyone at our Annual Christmas Party & Meeting on December 8th. You do not have to be a member to attend this event. Come out and meet your neighbors. Election for new directors for 2015 will also be held. You must be a member to vote or be a director. 361-983-2898—-poccc@tisd.net
