Starbase City Council is scheduled to hold a Dec. 9 hearing on proposed tax relief for SpaceX’s planned $24 billion first-phase power and computing project, with an economic development agreement also on the agenda.

The proposed development covers about 444 acres in Starbase, east of Brownsville. SpaceX plans to build a gas-fired power plant and a supercomputing facility, and would own and operate both. The estimate covers only the initial phase; the project could be developed in later phases.

The agenda includes proposed property-tax relief and an economic development agreement for the development. The hearing is scheduled to begin at 8 p.m. ET on Dec. 9, or 01:00 UTC on Dec. 10.
