Deer Park's Industrial District Drives City Revenue
The Deer Park industrial zone along SH 225 anchors growth with 12 industries paying about 2.06 million in 1975 and 2.26 million in 1976 in taxes and in lieu fees. Contracts allocate values between annexed portions and the district, with the city taxing 20 percent of district value and annexed portions at the higher rate. Shell Deer Park leads expansion with olefin plants and BPA projects, while Diamond Shamrock, Intercontinental Terminals, Union Grain, and Rohm Haas expand capacity, employing hundreds and boosting city income.
