Cedar Crossing Industrial Park in West Chambers County attracts distribution centers for Wal Mart and Home Depot, offering large land parcels near the Port of Houston and Grand Parkway. DeCesare notes West Coast congestion and Panama Canal limits push importers east, seeking skilled labor and lower costs despite noise and unions. Baytown officials and local economic experts foresee growth in warehousing and logistics driven by “just in time” delivery and expanding workforce needs.
