Legislative Agenda

The legislative priorities for Golden Triangle Days in Austin represent the important business issues facing the Golden Triangle—the energy-gateway for the State of Texas and the United States. Consisting of the cities of Beaumont, Orange, and Port Arthur and the counties of Jefferson and Orange, the Golden Triangle is home to the largest petro-chemical, refining and manufacturing complex in the nation responsible for $21 billion in annual gross product and $942 million in annual taxes for the State of Texas. This agenda has been developed by the chambers of commerce of those cities and approved by their respective boards of directors. The chambers represent thousands of businesses throughout the region.
