Community Advisory Panel

Dow Texas Operations maintains dialogue with the Brazosport community through its Community Advisory Panel (CAP), which has been in place since 1990. CAP members have the opportunity to ask questions and share information about issues that effect the community and the site. Special attention is paid to ensure that the CAP membership reflects the diversity of the Brazosport area.

The CAP consists of 17 area residents from six surrounding municipalities. In the recent past, Dow officials and CAP members have discussed the State Implementation Plan (SIP), industry economics, industry related asbestos issues, workforce diversity, labor issues, Texas Operations' site security, toxic release inventory data, and prospective projects on site.

The CAP also participated in a meeting with other CAPs to hear speakers present topics of local interest.

Every CAP meeting features a question and answer period facilitated to enhance the understanding of community issues. Minutes of the meetings are kept on file at the Freeport Public Library and are published in the local newspaper and can also be found on this website.
