Texas Border Business
Cameron County shared the most recent Starbase Local Impact economic statistics made available from Space Exploration Technologies Corp (SpaceX).
SpaceX’s vision in Cameron County has always been ambitious, and with the company’s shift to build and launch the Starship spacecraft, the largest rocket ever built, SpaceX’s investment in Cameron County has been significant in recent years.
Cameron County has always prioritized and supported the development of critical infrastructure, and as such is the only county in the United States with six (6) modes of transportation; seaport, air, road, rail, pipeline and space. As SpaceXand other new industries establish successful operations in Cameron County, additional investment in the form of high-paying jobs, infrastructure, and commerce will continue to follow.
“I want to thank SpaceX for their direct investment in the communities and school districts throughout Cameron County and for helping put south Texas on the map. While SpaceX is located in the unincorporated territory of CameronCounty, their presence has positively affected all the cities within Cameron County through increased tourism and newjob opportunities. We look forward to additional growth and investment in the future as SpaceX carries on their mission to explore space, return us to the moon and colonize Mars,” stated Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño, Jr.
