On December 12, 2023, SpaceX sent a letter to local officials formally requesting an election to incorporate the area they call Starbase into a municipality. The Starbase site is where the company builds and launches its massive Starship rockets, located at Boca Chica Beach near the southern tip of Texas. This initiative is driven by SpaceX's goal to build a sustainable community to support its ambitious projects. Kathy Lutters, the General Manager of Starbase, highlighted this in a letter to the Cameron County officials, stating that incorporation was crucial for the area's growth.
