Port Lavaca, Texas

10 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 3, ISSUE 3 housing readily available for their inevitable growth. Like most of the country, Port Lavaca is suffering from low housing inventory. They are in need of more entry level homes, mixed family and multi-family rentals and mid-level homes that fall somewhere between custom builds and entry-level. They have developments on the horizon for new homes, but many contractors have postponed their projects due to high supply prices and long lead times. The city is hoping new projects can begin again as soon as the economy stabilizes. Carpenter emphasizes, “Housing is a huge priority for this town – immediately and long term. We want to improve the housing inventory and get the diversity of housing that we need, both in the real estate and rental perspective.” Overall, Port Lavaca hopes the future will shine a spotlight on the city so it can be discovered for everything it has to offer. “We are working on that path,” Weaver says. “In five years, I’m hoping we’ve successfully completed all the things we’re working on now, and working on even more improvements for our growing community.” PORT LAVACA , TEXAS 819 W.
