The City of Brownsville Considers SpaceX's Request to Deannex 444 Acres
· Telemundo McAllen (KTLM)
The Brownsville City Commission approved on first reading the voluntary deannexation of 444 acres requested by SpaceX. The land, located on South Connector Road near the Port of Brownsville, will be used to expand its operations. The company clarified that the site will not be used for rocket launches or testing, citing the current lack of municipal services in the area. Meanwhile, SpaceX is negotiating a financial investment to expand potable water production in the region alongside the Southmost Regional Water Authority, which could double the current capacity for Brownsville. The process is not yet final: the second and final vote will take place at a special Commission meeting this Friday, August 28, at 5:00 p.m.
