BRYAN, Texas (KBTX) - Grimes County commissioners voted 4-1 Wednesday to designate a reinvestment zone for SpaceX's proposed Terafab semiconductor chip manufacturing facility.
Precinct 2 Commissioner David Tullos cast the lone "no" vote
County leaders have framed the Terafab proposal as a potentially transformative moment for Grimes County. Judge Joe Fauth has called it a "generational change," while some residents have raised concerns about safety, long-term growth, and whether county guidelines are being followed as the process moves forward.

The vote sets the stage for the project's next major step: commissioners' final decision on a possible tax abatement package tied to the project.'
A public hearing on the tax abatement remains underway, with commissioners expected to vote later Wednesday.
