Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

The City of Port Arthur launched a new CivicEngage website locally, across the country — and the world.

Residents and visitors may still navigate and enjoy the website during this transition.

This launch is possible after years of research, collaboration and discussion among a city-staffed committee, Website Developer/Content Manager Tiana Johnson and the public information office.
