Dear Port Arthur City Council Members,
Cheniere Energy was recently informed of the City of Port Arthur's vision to create a people-
centric downtown area that defines and expands its regional identity for decades to come. By
strengthening the city's regional profile, Port Arthur will once again position itself as an
economic and cultural center of Southeast Texas. Efforts towards this end have been described
in the city's Downtown Revitalization Plan. Cheniere both believes and supports Port Arthur's
vision fully. To demonstrate their support, Cheniere has committed $50,000.00 to fund
improvements to People's Park.
These funds will help enhance People's Park by making it a flexible-use space able to promote
public access to recreation, outdoor gatherings, and regularly scheduled community events.
Additionally, enhancements to People's Park will coincide with the successful redevelopment of
the Pavilion. Improvements to the park will allow for events to be planned in tandem with the
Pavilion.
It is Cheniere's hope that these funds foster a collaborative relationship with the city and help
realize Port Arthur's vision for downtown.
Sincerely,
%/t e4 7/VreZ
