Weeks after Cameron County approved tax incentives to help attract a shipyard for the Navy’s next generation AI powered drone ships, comes word that the official announcement will happen this morning.
KURV has learned that the project Alpha shipyard is coming to the Brownsville port and the announcement will be made around mid morning today from Austin. This massive multi billion dollar investment is expected to create up to 10,000 jobs over several years.
“As the only deepwater seaport on the U.S.-Mexico border, the Port of Brownsville has long stood as a strategic hub for large-scale industry and shipbuilding. On behalf of the Brownsville Navigation District, I welcome Saronic Technologies and the advanced maritime innovations that will transform our region,” said Brownsville Navigation District Chairman Sergio Tito Lopez. “I thank Governor Abbott for his leadership in helping us deliver this win for Texas, strengthening American manufacturing and creating jobs for the people of the Rio Grande Valley and the entire state of
Texas.”
We hope to join the announcement mid morning , join us on KURV FOR COVERAGE
