The Port Isabel Chamber of Commerce held its June regular meeting Friday.
Guest speaker Steven Bearden, Port Director for the Port Isabel-San Benito Navigation District, said the port has plans to work more with offshore oil and gas to produce more jobs in the area.
By 2014, a contract will be negotiated to bring in 400 welding jobs to the port, Bearden said. These jobs will be higher paying to compete with other employers in the state.
