| dc.description.abstract | Rockport, Texas, is a small coastal community located along the mid-gulf coastal bend of Texas. The community consists of very dedicated and involved residents who want to better their community. According to Rockport citizens, the city’s population is still down 20% a year and a half after Hurricane Harvey. Due to limited time and resources, the data reported throughout this State of Community Report are not a complete representation of the full effects that Hurricane Harvey brought to the city of Rockport. This State of Community Report was the beginning piece for the development of the City Comprehensive Plan. | en |
