Grimes County Commissioners Approve Three SpaceX Agreements

Grimes County commissioners, on four to one votes, approve three agreements that pave the way for SpaceX to build a multibillion dollar semiconductor plant. There were no documents on the Grimes County commission website at the time of their votes on Wednesday (June 3) that are associated with establishing a tax increment financing zone…also known as a TIRZ. And there were no documents associated with the tax abatement and economic development agreements that were also approved. The county judge and three of the four commissioners who approved the three agreements did not make any public comments. Voting no was David Tullos. Referring to the tax abatement agreement, Tullos said they could have achieved more. What was approved, allows SpaceX to pay instead of full property taxes a $10 million dollar up front fee in the next 60 days then $20 million a year for the next 35 years. Tullos voted against establishing the TIRZ after learning SpaceX expanded the original boundary of the former Gibbons Creek power plant to include Singleton, Roans Prairie, and land south of Highway 30. A SpaceX attorney said the TIRZ will apply only to property that the company buys and incorporates into its tax abatement agreement. Another SpaceX representative explained how water will be treated and disposed after it is used in the manufacture of computer chips. And an outside attorney hired by Grimes County said SpaceX will have to reach tax abatement agreements with affected public school districts.

Community Reception Honoring WTAW Radio’s Scott DeLucia

Bryan Broadcasting hosts a community reception honoring Scott DeLucia’s work in the community and his career hosting WTAW’s The Infomaniacs, which ends on Friday (June 5) as he retires. Leading off speakers at Tuesday’s event (June 2) was Bryan Broadcasting CEO Bill Hicks, who shared Scott worked for a member of his family’s radio stations for 58 years. Bryan Broadcasting general manager Ben Downs says Scott will continue to have a presence on WTAW doing political interviews. A proclamation read by Brazos County county judge Duane Peters, Bryan mayor Bobby Gutierrez, and College Station mayor John Nichols designated Tuesday as Scott DeLucia Day. The proclamation also declared “6 a.m. to be the new official start of Scott DeLucia standard time, thereby granting him a permanent municipal clearance to sleep in, free from early morning alerts, phone calls, (and) politics.” A state of Texas resolution was presented by state representative and longtime listener Paul Dyson of Bryan. There was also a presentation from the president of the Bryan/College Station chamber of commerce, Glen Brewer. Scott was also presented the WTAW promotional pickle that was autographed by those attending the reception. Following a tribute video, Scott closed the program reminiscing about his nearly 60 year career and thanking listeners “I thank you for sharing with me your thoughts. The fact that you come and say that you listen to me makes me feel good. I might not know your name just because you know my name. It doesn’t mean it’s not a two way communication. This is still a very personal, personal business. We get a chance to talk to you, to see you, to be to be a part of your life and you get to be a part of our life.” Click below to hear the community reception program honoring Scott DeLucia June 2, 2026.

At least five Bryan police officers were involved in a car chase Friday night (May 29) lasting 12 miles and at speeds of up to 100 miles per hour. After 40 minutes and two failed attempts to flatten the car tires using spoke strips, the driver stopped in the parking lot of the police department. 57 year old Bruce Malcolm went to jail for evading arrest, aggravated assault with a gun, and interfering with a 9-1-1 call.

The pursuit began near the Bryan VFW on Harvey Mitchell Parkway and continued on Leonard Road, Highways 47 and 21, William Joel Bryan Parkway, Texas, and 29th Street before ending in the BPD parking lot. After Malcolm was booked in the Brazos County jail, jail records show he is being held without bond on a warrant from Nueces County for unlawful restraint of a person exposing the victim to serious bodily injury.
