Houston metropolitan region has received nearly US$962 mln in contracts to bolster local law enforcement, aid hurricane victims and protect the cornerstones of the local economy, as per chron.com. Among the biggest beneficiaries, according to a Houston Chronicle analysis, are the 52-mile Houston Ship Channel and Bush Intercontinental Airport. The massive federal support has enabled the nation's largest petrochemical port to forge a government-industry partnership to secure and expedite cargo such as inbound crude oil and outbound petrochemicals - as well as smooth out processing at the nation's seventh largest airport. The spending has helped assure that Houston will remain the energy capital of the world.
