Proposed SpaceX TeraFab semiconductor facility at Gibbons Creek Reservoir in Grimes County could carry a price tag approaching $119 billion.

The project is drawing ongoing scrutiny and discussion from national figures as well as local residents.

The strategic importance of advanced semiconductors is stressed, highlighting national security, economic impact, and AI infrastructure.

Residents express concerns about water and land use, and broader community impacts from a project of this scale.

Local concerns are acknowledged, with a focus on partnering with communities and seeking input rather than imposing decisions.

Grimes County will hold a formal public hearing on the proposal on June 3 at 9 a.m. at the Grimes County Justice and Business Center in Anderson.
