A proposed Tesla project worth more than $10 billion could bring thousands of jobs to Fort Bend County, just east of Houston, if the company moves forward with plans to build a large solar manufacturing facility.
Lamar Consolidated Independent School District trustees are expected to consider a property tax incentive for Tesla Tuesday night as the company explores more than 3,000 acres near FM 762 and FM 1994.
The proposed project would involve an estimated $10.1 billion investment to build a facility capable of manufacturing solar cells and solar panels.
Tesla says the project could eventually create nearly 10,000 permanent full-time jobs.
