Though 2026 is just kicking off, millions of dollars in projects are underway in Bastrop. Here are five of the largest ones:

Bastrop High School expansion

Project: The district is continuing work on projects from the 2021 and 2023 bonds. This year, work will continue on the competition gym and additional classroom space, according to Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation filings.

SpaceX garage

The growing hub of Elon Musk's SpaceX and Boring Company is expanding with the addition of an estimated $20 million parking garage, according to TDLR records. Per the document, work began on the project in 2025 and will continue until early 2027. Over the last five years, the companies have spent tens of millions of dollars on expanding the campus.


Del Webb amentity center

Del Webb, a brand under PulteGroup that has built dozens of active adult communities nationwide, will break ground on an amenity center for its latest residential project in Bastrop later this year.

The facility at 105 Perth Cove, Bastrop, is estimated to cost $10 million and is expected to be completed by 2026.

Bastrop County Development Services Building


The project is estimated to cost approximately $9.7 million, according to a filing with the TDLR.

Officials previously cited limited space for the Development Services department at its existing location at 211 Jackson St. in Bastrop, as the facility also houses the tax assessor-collector.

Old Iron Bridge Rehabilitation

Construction on the long-anticipated rehabilitation of Bastrop’s Old Iron Bridge began in 2025 following a unanimous Bastrop City Council approval of a contractor and management service April 29. The bridge has been closed to pedestrians since 2018 due to safety concerns, as previously reported by Community Impact.
