A major development is underway in Port Arthur with the goal of creating a renaissance in the downtown area.

Legacy Community Development Corporation is partnering with another group to build the Renaissance Lakeshore Apartments on Lakeshore Drive.

The complex will include 108 units and provide affordable housing and market rate units.

Hurricane Harvey grant funding and private funding are paying for the $21 million complex.

Contractors broke ground last year. The pandemic slowed things down, but the group behind it all says the end result will make a big difference in bringing more people into downtown Port Arthur.
