BROWNSVILLE, Texas – State Rep. Alex Dominguez (D) is in talks to bring a $5 billion electric car manufacturing and assembling operation to Brownsville.

The Brownsville lawmaker announced preliminary details at a news conference held at the Port of Brownsville by Texas A&M University to unveil a $10 million RGV Advanced Manufacturing/Training Innovation Now (TRAIN) program.

The program aims to provide 10,000 workers with the skills they need to work in advanced manufacturing over the next two years. Thereafter, Texas A&M will look for funding from the Texas Legislature to make it an ongoing program.

“Most people don’t know this but I can probably share a little bit about it. There is a company, a startup that is looking at potentially creating a $5 billion investment to create a manufacturing facility,” Dominguez said from the podium.

1. It starts! This is where.it's.at.

Goodbye oil companies buying our politicians.
The threat remains and always will as long as we have this corrupt system of government we can’t be surprised when people fall in to the money hole with people who will always want to buy access. That’s the game now, I understand that.

This is still really good news. I wish him all the best luck.

3. Let's not forget the jobs that will be created in an area where good stable jobs are needed.

This will be a huge win for the area if all of this comes to fruition. The plant also seems to be a good fit with the workforce that is available.

4. They need to unionize from the start, as the auto industry did in the past.

That built the middle class & gave the US it's strongest economy.. That is President Biden's wisdom of Build Back...(only) Better 👍
