Abbott Touts Greater Beaumont Chamber’s Top 2% Spot

During remarks at the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce Annual Meeting, Governor Greg Abbott touted Texas’ strong economy and business climate. He thanked the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce for its work as job creators and growing the local economy.

The governor also congratulated the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce for its position in the top 2 percent of U.S. chambers by the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, and commended the Port of Beaumont for its significant contributions to Texas by making the state the leader in U.S. exports for 19 years.

“More and more great companies are moving to Texas every day because of our welcoming business climate and our young, growing, skilled and diverse workforce, but that would not be possible without the help of great organizations like the Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce,” said Abbott. “The Greater Beaumont Chamber of Commerce works tirelessly alongside business leaders to create better economic opportunities for the people of Southeast Texas every day, and I want to thank them for their hard work and dedication to keep Texas the best place to live, work, raise a family and do business.”
