WORK PLAN FOR A STUDY OF THE FEASIBILITY OF AN OFFSHORE TERMINAL IN THE TEXAS GULF COAST REGION

To justify the expenditure of the large sums of money required to build an offshore port, a study must be made of the economy of Texas' Gulf Coast region to ascertain the impact that the port will have and to determine the dollars-and-cents benefits that will result from the port. A necessary prerequisite to constructing such a port is a study of its physical and economic feasibility. The work plan contained herein describes the individual studies required. Estimated cost of these studies is $460,000, and total time required to do them should not exceed 18 months. (Author)
