· KRGV (NBC 5)
Cameron County officials postponed a decision on Saronic Technologies' request for a tax break during a recent commissioners meeting. The company aims to establish a shipyard at the Port of Brownsville to build AI-driven military and commercial vessels. Supporters highlighted the economic and educational benefits, urging approval, while opponents emphasized the need for environmental protection and public services. Uriel Gavito voiced concerns about prioritizing corporate interests over community health. Saronic representatives countered that their facility would create local jobs and collaborate with educational institutions. The matter will be revisited on June 16, as not all commissioners were present for the vote.
