Fact Friday: Houston's East End

Since we've just moved into the area commonly called the "East End"  I though it might be nice to share a fact or two in our Fact Friday Postings.

East End Industry

Houston’s East End, the original birthplace of business is a hybrid of retail and manufacturing businesses ready to be of service.  The economic engine driving the East End economy is the Port of Houston. The economic effect of the Port of Houston results in a spin-off of related service companies from logistics/warehousing companies to marine related industries supporting the Port.  Food manufacturing giants call the East End home with several companies employing over 3,000 employees with an economic impact of 12,000+ additional indirect jobs in the area.
