Starbase Vote Rapidly Approaching!
On May 3rd, Boca Chica Village in Cameron County, Texas, with a population of fewer than 500, will vote on incorporating as Starbase. This will make Starbase an official city in Texas.
If approved, Starbase will also gain authority to close Texas State Highway 4 and Boca Chica Beach, currently managed by the county, easing SpaceX’s operational challenges.
Two Texas legislature bills, Senate Bill 2188 and House Bill 4660, support granting the city beach closure rights. No specific vote dates are scheduled for the Bills in the Texas Legislature’s 89th session.
