Hi! I'm Kenny Graves, your Neighborhood Reporter for the Brazos Valley. SpaceX project at Gibbons Creek Reservoir draws crowd to Grimes County commissioners meeting. Residents share hopes and concerns about the proposed $119B project. But Reznicek also acknowledged that uncertainty remains. "So right now, there's just, there's a lot of unanswered questions. There's a lot of just rumor and people start filling in the blanks, and that doesn't do anybody good." Kenny Graves Local pastor Max Brand said public sentiment appears to be shifting in a positive direction as more details emerge. "Now that more information gets out there, people are being happier and being encouraged by what they're hearing." Kenny Graves Some residents believe a tax abatement could be used as a tool to secure broader benefits for the county. Marie Egyed, a local resident, said she supports the concept under the right conditions. "I'm not against tax abatements. Tax abatements are the one thing that we have to use to have any kind of negotiating power at the table." Kenny Graves Fellow resident Susan Patrick said the project should deliver tangible financial relief and employment opportunities for the community. "It should reduce our taxes for sure. It should bring lots of jobs eventually over, over the next 4 or 5 years." Kenny Graves
