DHS Grant Jump Starts Houston Ship Channel Security District
Harris County Commissioners Court recently approved a measure to improve security for the Houston Ship Channel with the creation of the Houston Ship Channel Security District. It will be a public-private partnership that will fund enhancements to security technology, infrastructure and processes along the ship channel.
With about $31.3 million in grants under the Department of Homeland Security’s Port Security Grant Program, Harris County plans to design and construct a portwide security system for the Houston Ship Channel area.
