THE GOLDEN TRIANGLE EMPOWERMENT CENTER The Golden Triangle Empowerment Center (GTEC) is designed to help people who haven't been afforded the opportunity to get the necessary work skills to become successful workers in the industrial boom stirring the Golden Triangle region.
After decades of stagnation and neglect in the area economy, Port Arthur is in the early stages of an economic boom.
Several large projects involving the energy infrastructure are underway or proposed, the two largest being the Golden Pass and Sabine PassLNG terminals. These separate projects under construction in neighboring Sabine Pass have brought cumulative initial investments of $2 billion, and will employ thousands at peak construction.
