Brownsville Approves Rushed SpaceX Land Disannexation Amid Secrecy Claims
Brownsville approved disannexation of 444 acres for a rushed SpaceX land deal, with the mayor and commissioners reportedly lacking the annexation plan details before a nighttime vote. Critics said the process was overly secretive, and a request for 72 hours to review was denied. The plan arrived about 90 minutes after public comment, just days before a workshop on a 90-day data center moratorium, and residents later received letters about a proposed data center within city limits.
