Beaumont Port Arthur SETX

[NA NA]

Hi everyone,

Since Hurricane Harvey I have been following the SETX Golden Triangle region, specifically the Beaumont-Port Arthur MSA. History suggests that this area is basically a warzone and that investors should stay away, but recently I have been seeing a number of articles announcing big expansions/construction in the area.I know that most of these projects will be dependent on the market for oil/gas/petrochemicals but currently and at least for the forseeable future the energy market as a whole (besides coal) looks strong.  What do you guys think of investing in the area? There should be an influx of construction workers for a number of years.
