How do we define success?

$2 million
to the City of Portland for the renovation of Indian Point Park and construction of the new Indian Point Pavilion. The pavilion serves as a community gathering space and a celebration of the Texas coastal environment that residents enjoy.
GCGV celebrated a successful startup
The facility started operations in late 2021 and that included a well-deserved thank you to vendors, contractors and employees who completed construction and commissioning during one of the most trying periods in history. Despite the pressures of the global pandemic, our contractors and employees completed construction early and under budget.
Several celebratory events were held to show our appreciation to the community and our many partners. We held a Startup Celebration in March, an employee celebration in May and a family day for our employees to show off the new facility.
