SpaceX continues to expand its footprint in Bastrop County.
The details
The facility at 858 FM 1209 in Bastrop will add an 157,321-square-foot parking garage—an estimated $20 million in upgrades, according to a filing with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation.
Some context
In March, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott announced that a $17.3 million grant awarded to SpaceX through the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund would assist with adding approximately 1 million square feet to the site, as previously reported by Community Impact.
“Incredible innovation and high-tech manufacturing is happening in Texas as a direct result of Gov. Abbott’s leadership and the Texas Semiconductor Innovation Fund initiative,” said Gwynne Shotwell, SpaceX president and chief operating officer, in March. “This grant will help continue to expand Bastrop’s manufacturing for Starlink to help connect even more people across the state and around the world with high-speed, low-latency internet.”
The outlook
Construction of the parking garage is scheduled to conclude by Jan. 7, 2027, according to the filing.
