CORPUS CHRISTI, Tx — Loud cheers could be heard at the groundbreaking ceremony held by the city of Portland Wednesday evening for the Fifth & Elm Project in Portland's Leisure and Entertainment District.
It took about six years to reach this point, and many people came together to make this a successful project.
"This is a real game changer for the city of Portland. This is a project like no other in South Texas. It's a place where people can come and gather, for families to enjoy, and it's going to increase our economic benefit to our hometown area. So, all those things together make it a super project for Portland," said Randy Wright, Portland City Manager.
The project will take about two years to complete.
