Cameron County has approved an election allowing residents near SpaceX’s launch site to vote on forming a new municipality named Starbase. Scheduled for May 3, the decision follows a petition from over 70 residents. The potential incorporation aims to streamline development processes for local amenities, amidst concerns from environmental advocates regarding the ramifications of increased development. The area, primarily populated by SpaceX employees, has seen significant growth since the company's establishment in 2014, with a robust workforce contributing to ongoing local development.
Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño stated that an upcoming election will allow local residents to vote on the creation of a new municipality called Starbase.
Starbase's general manager Kathryn Lueders noted that incorporating the area would facilitate the construction of necessary amenities, enhancing the community's quality of life.
