Cameron County, Texas, has approved a request from SpaceX for a vote that would allow people living near the company facility to decide whether to establish a new city

The Texas launch site of Elon Musk’s SpaceX could soon have its very own city. Officials on Wednesday approved an election sought by the aerospace firm that would allow residents who live near its Starbase site—almost all of them employees—to carve out a new municipality in an unincorporated area of Cameron County near the U.

In early December, Cameron County received an incorporation petition for the city of Starbase, Texas. Now, voters will decide on the matter during the general election on May 3 after Cameron County Judge Eddie Treviño approved the petition.

Elon Musk, a billionaire ally of President Donald Trump, has steadily expanded his business footprint across Texas.
