As the culmination of a process that began in 2007, Tianjin Pipe Corporation is moving towards investing in excess of $1 billion through TPCO America to build a seamless steel pipe manufacturing facility on a 253-acre site east of Gregory.

Construction of the 1.6 million square-foot facility will take approximately 34 months and will provide construction-related jobs for approximately 2,000 workers.  The plant operations initially will employ a workforce of 300-400  people and eventually 600-800 people.

This week at the Rotary Club of Corpus Christi, we got an inside look at one of the most exciting coastal restoration projects happening in our region.Leigh Perry with the Coastal Bend Bays & Estuaries Program shared the vision behind the El Rincon Reef Shoreline Protection Project—a transformative effort designed to protect North Beach, preserve the USS Lexington and surrounding infrastructure, restore oyster reefs, marshes, and seagrass, and reduce erosion for generations to come. This isn't just about today's shoreline—it's about the future of our Coastal Bend.This is exactly why our members look forward to Thursdays. We don't just hear great speakers—we gain insight into the projects, people, and decisions that are shaping our community long before they become everyday conversation.Ready to experience Rotary for yourself?
