For a town like Port Aransas, which relies heavily on tourism, the need to rebuild its business community is vital.</p><p class="p-text">"They certainly didn't understand the extent of what we're going through," Hentz said.</p><p class="p-text">Cleofas Rodriguez Jr., president of the United Corpus Christi Chamber, said that was the primary message behind the Washington D.C. visit — don't forget about the Coastal Bend.</p><div class="partner-placement partner-spike"></div><p class="p-text">"One of the biggest outcomes I saw was just the opportunity to remind our (elected officials) that we were impacted by a Category 4 hurricane," he said. "That was a big impact for us, and we're still trying to recover from and just not to forget (about us)."</p><p class="p-text">That's not to say other topics weren't discussed — the contingent included representatives from the Port of Corpus Christi and the United Way of the Coastal Bend, as well as chambers of commerce and emergency management officials from Aransas Pass, Ingleside, Portland, Nueces County and the city of Corpus Christi.</p><p class="p-text">"It was just a broad representation," he said. "It speaks volumes to the unity that is in this community. It really showed that ... we are stronger together."</p><div class="partner-outstream"></div><p class="p-text">Other issues talked about during the visit, Rodriguez said, included the proposed ship channel expansion project at the Port of Corpus Christi, along with matters related to military installations. He said the priority was to ensure that local leaders had an opportunity to meet with federal officials, like senators or other congressional leaders, to stay apprised of any changes down the road that could impact local bases.</p><p class="p-text">"You know what they say — if you're not at the table, you're on the menu," Rodriguez said. "And so we're trying to make sure that we're at the table and not on the menu."</p><p class="p-text">Rosemary Vega, president and CEO of the Aransas Pass Chamber of Commerce, said the trip was "very successful" for her community. She said the delegation was able to meet with federal leaders to voice their concerns about the ongoing hurricane recovery efforts, with some of those officials offering help to replace the town's destroyed water tower.</p><p class="p-text">It will cost about $2.5 million to rebuild the water tower in Aransas Pass, officials have said, but state officials are hoping to use a combination of FEMA and state funds to help the town get the project done.</p><p class="p-text">"I felt like we were heard," she said. "Every one of them touched on hurricane assistance and needs."</p><p class="p-text">For Hentz, having those people in one area over that three-day span was crucial to making sure they could get the assistance they needed or build contacts to help recovery efforts moving forward. While the message about Port Aransas was surprising to some, Hentz said he wanted officials to know the situation in "black and white." Other communities — like Rockport, Fulton, Aransas Pass and Ingleside — were hurting as well.</p><p class="p-text">He said the connections he built over that three-day span were invaluable, and would be crucial to Port Aransas and other communities moving forward.</p><p class="p-text">"We had so many people in the right rooms at the right time," he said.</p><p class="p-text">Hentz said that in several years, when Port Aransas has recovered and is back to normal, he felt the Washington D.C. trip will have played a big role in that.</p><p class="p-text">"I'm going to look back at this D.C. trip as the catalyst," he said.</p><div id="module-position-QpEwPf587iU" class="story-asset image-asset"><aside itemprop="associatedMedia" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/ImageObject" class="wide single-photo"><img itemprop="url" src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/-mm-/8f2d4ceca58a6a0c73acc03cf81ff9b74a2332db/c=4-0-3260-2448&amp;r=x408&amp;c=540x405/local/-/media/2017/10/13/TXGroup/CorpusChristi/636435172081216282-Delegation.JPG" alt="Pictured are members of the delegation who visited" width="540" height="405" data-mycapture-src="https://www.gannett-cdn.com/media/2017/10/13/TXGroup/CorpusChristi/636435172081216282-Delegation.JPG"
