Background
In November 2018, Axis Midstream applied for an environmental permit to build the facility on Harbor Island in Corpus Christi, Texas. Proposed facilities include two ship berths and a staging facility. Two pipelines would bundle fiber-optic cables, natural gas and oil. Pipelines would run across the Gulf Intracoastal Waterway and Redfish Bay.[2]
As of November 2021, there had been no reported progress on the terminal in over two years, and it is presumed to be shelved. As of late 2023, there was still no progress, and the project is considered cancelled.
Opposition
The project is opposed by the Port Aransas Conservacy. The group's stated goal is "to foster a balance of conservation and economically sustainable uses for Port Aransas and its surrounding neighborhood and waterways while recognizing that our community and economy is dependent on tourism and fisheries within a hearty barrier island coastal ecosystem."
In August 2019 the Port Aransas city council passed a 60-day moratorium on permitting for industrial development on Harbor Island.[3] In September 2019 the Port of Corpus Christi then sued Port Aransas, claiming its moratorium is unlawful.[4]
