Did You Know the Fastest-Growing Port in the U.S. is in Texas?

If I were to ask you where the fastest-growing port in the entire U.S. was in 2024, what would you guess?

Somewhere in New York or San Diego, California? Maybe Seattle, Washington? Those would be some of my initial guesses. However, the fastest-growing port in America is actually here in Texas.

Of course, now that I think about it, we've been inundated with headlines revealing how many people are moving to Texas. Businesses are moving to Texas, too. And it is only reasonable to assume that could mean more traffic at Texas ports.

Would you be surprised to learn the fast-growing port in the U.S. is the Port of Corpus Christi, Texas?
