Las nuevas instalaciones portuarias estarán operativas a principios de 2024.

Volkswagen Group of America, Port Freeport y el desarrollador KDC tienen como objetivo comenzar la construcción de la nueva ubicación a fines de 2022 y esperan que la instalación esté operativa a principios de 2024. Las operaciones portuarias actuales de VWGoA en Houston y Midlothian (TX) se consolidarán en la nueva central en Port Freeport.

El desarrollo de Port Freeport permitirá a Volkswagen Group of America importar aprox. 140,000 vehículos por año, principalmente de sus centros de producción en México, así como importaciones de Europa. Port Freeport permitirá la utilización de buques de GNL de bajas emisiones, lo que respaldará el objetivo del Grupo Volkswagen de mejorar la huella ambiental de su logística global.

Nuestro nuevo centro en Port Freeport nos permitirá atender a casi un tercio de nuestra red de distribuidores de EE. UU. de manera más eficiente y sostenible. No podríamos estar más emocionados de trabajar con Port Freeport y el desarrollador KDC en este próximo capítulo”.

Actualmente, Volkswagen Group of America cuenta con ocho puertos en los EE. UU., elegidos para optimizar las distancias a sus más de 1,000 concesionarios y reducir las emisiones en el transporte.

“Estamos encantados con la decisión de Volkswagen Group of America de elegir Port Freeport, que ofrece infraestructura de última generación y es un puerto en rápido crecimiento con acceso por agua, carreteras y ferrocarriles.

La proximidad del puerto a Houston y el acceso a las principales zonas de fabricación lo convierten en una ubicación ideal como el principal centro de Volkswagen en la Costa del Golfo”, dijo Phyllis Saathoff, directora ejecutiva y directora ejecutiva de Port Freeport. “Esperamos trabajar con Volkswagen Group of America en sus operaciones de expansión durante los próximos veinte años”.

“Es un honor dar la bienvenida a Volkswagen Group of America, líder en la fabricación de automóviles, a Port Freeport ya esta comunidad.

Las inversiones estratégicas del Puerto en nuevos atracaderos, infraestructura ferroviaria y mejoras en los canales, combinadas con los rápidos tiempos de tránsito hasta el atracadero, refuerzan sus objetivos de una solución de red logística ambientalmente sostenible y eficiente en la Costa del Golfo”, dijo el comisionado John Hoss, presidente de Port Freeport.

“La Comisión Portuaria mantiene su compromiso de cumplir con las iniciativas estratégicas del puerto, creando empleos e impactos económicos positivos para el área de Freeport, el condado de Brazoria y el estado de Texas”.

“Estamos encantados con la nueva asociación con VW. Esta transacción agrega otra empresa de primer nivel a la creciente lista de inquilinos de primera clase de PRP”, dijo Paul Dougherty, presidente de PRP.

“Este activo complementa a la perfección la cartera de arrendamiento neto de PRP de instalaciones de construcción más nuevas arrendadas por arrendatarios de alta calidad con grado de inversión a largo plazo en mercados logísticos sólidos de EE. UU. Esperamos trabajar con KDC para construir esta instalación para Volkswagen”.

“Trabajar con Volkswagen Group of America para ayudar a la compañía a entregar vehículos más rápido a los concesionarios en todo Estados Unidos nos permite utilizar nuestras habilidades de desarrollo para enfrentar desafíos y producir soluciones”, dijo Toby Grove, presidente de KDC. “Esperamos comenzar y apoyar la misión de Volkswagen”.

Se anticipa que las operaciones futuras de Volkswagen Group of America en Port Freeport crearán 113 puestos de trabajo directamente en las instalaciones de la terminal y muchos más de manera indirecta a través de campos relacionados como camiones y ferrocarriles, descarga de embarcaciones, pilotos de embarcaciones y más.

“Freeport se complace en dar la bienvenida a nuestros nuevos vecinos a nuestra comunidad”, dijo Brooks Bass, alcalde de la ciudad de Freeport. “Esperamos tener una relación de beneficio mutuo con Volkswagen y sus afiliados en los próximos años. Les agradecemos su compromiso”.

JLL, el socio inmobiliario exclusivo de Volkswagen Group of America, ayudó a VWGoA en el proceso de selección del sitio para una instalación portuaria consolidada a lo largo del Golfo de México.

🇺🇸🇨🇺🇵🇷🗽 What a way to begin Hispanic Heritage Month and commemorate 25 years since 9/11 in New York.

Thank you to everyone who has read, commented, and shared. This story has now reached around 2 million people across platforms and traveled around the world.

This trip became an emotional homecoming. People traveled to New York not only to remember, but to return pieces of my family’s history.

The most precious was a photograph of Dad and me during my first summer working in his office on the 19th floor of the South Tower. We believed it was lost forever on 9/11. Ms. Carole, one of Dad’s secretaries—whom he helped survive that day—had kept a duplicate. After her passing, her grandson Frankie found it, along with my World Trade Center pass marked 2/19 (South Tower, 19th Floor). I’ve now been asked to submit this history to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

I also learned more about Dad’s life: my Cuban father was an early supporter and organizer of the National Puerto Rican Day Parade; his baseball career led to ceremonial first pitches; and in 1972 he received the American Heritage Award during a “Spanish Night” in New York. In 2025, I received the Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award—continuing the legacy of service Mom and Dad began.

Agent Lee shared another chapter: when his family’s Chinatown restaurant was targeted by anti-Asian violence, my parents helped bring the community back—and I, a little girl in a She-Ra shirt, worked beside them asking, “What would Jesus do?” His family called me their 貴人 (Guìrén): a benefactor who arrives at the right moment.

The white suit and black dress I wore in New York belonged to Mom. Wearing them felt like carrying her with me.

As an only child, it has been my greatest honor to have always been by my late parents' side throughout my life and to care for them in their final years. I’m humbled that this story has connected us across different generations and borders.

Thank you for reminding me: “You might be far, but you are never forgotten.”

John 13:34–35 | Jeremiah 29:11

🇺🇸 My Father Survived 9/11—But 9/11 Ultimately Took His Life.

🇺🇸 Twenty-five years ago, my father, José Quintero Ramos, was on the 19th floor of the South Tower when the North Tower was struck. Dad had survived the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and knew something was wrong. He insisted his secretaries and coworkers leave. Holding hands, they formed a human chain and began descending the stairs.

🇺🇸 Then the second plane struck their tower.

🇺🇸 The lights went dark. Smoke, ash, and debris filled the hot stairwell. Dad gave others the handkerchiefs he always carried so they could breathe, leaving only his arm to cover his own face.

🇺🇸 As firefighters and first responders climbed upward, Dad thanked them and squeezed their shoulders. One young firefighter rested his face in Dad’s hand—like a son receiving a father’s blessing. Dad never saw him again.

🇺🇸 Dad and his coworkers escaped and crossed the street only moments before the South Tower collapsed at 9:59 a.m. Those with him later said they would not have survived without his insistence. His courage saved lives.

🇺🇸 For more than ten hours, we did not know whether he was alive.

🇺🇸 Covered in ash, blood, and cuts, he walked for hours across the Brooklyn Bridge to the Cathedral Basilica of St. James, where I was baptized. A priest wiped his face, embraced him, and prayed.

🇺🇸 Our family was blessed with nearly 19 more years—but Dad was never the same. He ultimately died from respiratory failure caused by the toxic air he breathed that day. He is now officially recognized as a 9/11 victim.

🇺🇸 On this 25th anniversary, I remain honor-bound as his daughter to tell his story—especially as 9/11 moves from living memory into history.

🇺🇸 9/11 did not end on September 11, 2001. Its toll continues whenever another survivor or responder dies from a related illness.

🇺🇸 May we remember those lost that day, those lost in the years since, and everyone still suffering.

🇺🇸 Daddy, your courage lives on. We will never forget. 🤍🕊️

🗽 🇺🇸 Daddy, I’ve returned to our home state to represent you at both private and public official 25th anniversary September 11th remembrance events in New York. 
🗽 🇺🇸 Your little girl is traveling solo, but safeguarded at each event by a private security team that has been prearranged for me—just another example of God’s favor and how our (good) reputation has preceded us. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It’s a reaffirmation of your protection over me still and a nostalgic reflection of the times when we all traveled together during our careers. 
🗽 🇺🇸 It is my honor to continue being your daughter and to carry the legacy. 🤍🕊️

🤍 🇨🇺 🇺🇸 🕊️ Grief and Daddy’s Little Girl.

Daddy, six years ago today, you entered eternity. Your courage on 9/11 helped others survive but ultimately cost you your life. You are now officially recognized among its victims.

Mommy passed in January. Nine months later came my MS diagnosis. A year later, on September 6, I lost you—five days before 9/11. Oh, September. We used to be friends because of fall and all things pumpkin. Not anymore.

This photo takes me back outside St. Patrick’s Cathedral. You were about to speak beside Rev. Jesse Jackson at a rally for 7,000 workers displaced by sugar refinery closures. I was seven. You handed me the mic, and I joked that kids loved sugar, families needed jobs, and we had to “keep hope alive.” I only wanted to make you proud—and get the steak sandwich and ice cream you’d promised near the World Trade Center.

Grief doesn’t take a holiday. “The death of a beloved is an amputation.” —C.S. Lewis

My parents taught me to serve and bloom where God planted me. Joshua’s special-needs diagnosis turned my grief into advocacy and a nonprofit for families. Service is our legacy and biblical calling.

But the Church must do better after loss—not only at funerals, but through the months, years, birthdays, and anniversaries. Grief is lifelong, not a race. Heaven doesn’t erase how deeply we miss their presence. Shepherding means calling, listening, and showing up so no one feels invisible or alone.

To those touched by how I honor my parents, thank you. To anyone grieving a loved one, disability, or special-needs parenting: I see you. You’re not alone. Jeremiah 29:11.

To the sweet mama in the UK: throw the plates if you need to. Jesus wept. Jesus got angry. He understands. Call me.

I know Mommy and Daddy are proud, yet my heart and soul are heavy. As the 25th anniversary of 9/11 approaches, I’ll go to NYC alone to honor Daddy.

Te amamos para siempre. 🤍

P.S. If anyone hears the rapture trumpets while I’m gone, tell God I have a VIP Express ticket—and I don’t mind pushing a few people out of the way. 🥹😇😂
