SpaceX is set to expand its presence in Central Texas with an $8 million project to enlarge its Bastrop facility, as per state filings. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The 80,000-square-foot addition, which is scheduled to begin construction on September 24 and wrap in early January 2026, was registered with the Texas Department of Licensing and Regulation and initially reported by My San Antonio<\/a><\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Bastrop is already the site of several Elon Musk-led ventures. The upcoming expansion will extend SpaceX\u2019s office at 858 FM 1209, near Starlink\u2019s operations and The Boring Company\u2019s facilities. Just down the road, X is housed in the Hyperloop Plaza at 865 FM 1209.<\/p>\n\n\n\n SpaceX\u2019s expansion reflects a steady buildup of resources in Bastrop since the private space firm established its presence in the area. The addition was praised by Tesla Governor Greg Abbott, who wrote on X that the expansion will \u201cbring more jobs, innovations and will strengthen Starlink\u2019s impact worldwide.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\nNew investment<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
