<br /> <br />January 11, 2005 <br /> <br />BAY AREA HOUSTON ECONOMIC PARTNERSHIP <br />LA PORTE SURVEY RESULTS <br /> <br />Executive Summary <br /> <br />La Porte is viewed as a community with a moderately skilled, slightly higher than <br />working class community with an industry emphasis on chemicals production and <br />warehouse/distribution companies. <br /> <br />Nearly all respondents were familiar with La Porte's business infrastructure (highway, <br />seaport, airport access) and were generally aware of a community college presence near <br />La Porte. <br /> <br />La Porte scored average (but leaned towards better than average) on the overall business <br />climate, workforce & land availability, school district, and quality of life. City services <br />were ranked a strong average rating. <br /> <br />The perceptions change slightly as per the location of respondents. This report breaks <br />down the results of the surveys from those responding from Houston, those responding <br />from Texas (outside of Houston), and those responding outside of Texas. <br /> <br />While La Porte has done a good job of raising awareness locally, there are many <br />opportunities to address La Porte's positive traits on local, state and national levels. <br /> <br />Of the 65 surveys mailed from our office, 27 were received for a 42% return rate. <br />
