In Brownsville, a project to build a liquefied natural gas facility is moving ahead. A recent announcement marked a step forward for the planned export terminal.

The company behind the project has given a contractor permission to start work on certain tasks. This includes buying equipment that takes a long time to deliver and doing engineering work.

Further information about the project is available from the company, which is based in Houston. The project has been in the works for a long time, originally proposed over 15 years ago.
