Port of Corpus Christi Commissioners voted to authorize staff to pursue a second permit needed to advance the development of a desalination facility on Harbor Island. It's a critical step for a proposed project that backers believe could have an economic impact stretching as far as San Antonio.

Those users, project backers point out, including Valero Energy Corp.
