We can't wait for the eminent domain land seizures, inflation, traffic, and crime. It'll be great for the bumpkins out here that don't know what's good for them.
The unaffected are fully for it.

Why do you and others keep alluding to the rise in crime? I know several of the county deputies who have told me they don't ever want to go to parts of north Grimes without at least one backup patrol, especially around the Darrell Hall communities. And the Bedias area has more than their share of killings, meth labs and perverts.

---

Not sure what one has to do with the other. Bedias is a meth den. Crime will increase with the influx of thousands of temporary workers. This is a simple truth. We don't want more crime. Shocking, isn't it.
Those unaffected by Terrafab are all in.

I'm in south east college station and will absolutely be affected. I'm all for it

If there is one truth, in life, then it is that things change. It is how we react to the change which will define us and our childern.

Mr. Musk has added a link to the top of his X account entitled "Terafab.ai"

Clicking that link takes the reader to a video- but also an "Apply" button where resumes can be sent.

If you're interested in applying, now might be a good time to submit.

If finalized, I'd rather see as many of those jobs as possible go to locals in greater Aggieland.

Here's the link: https://terafab.ai/

More info coming out.

KBTX: JETI and Grimes ISD's

Recommendation packets have been posted. I only looked at two but assume this is the case for all eight: the applications have been recommended by the Comptroller's office for approval.

Also of note, the IPO raised $85.7 billion total, after additional options were exercised. This adds $10 billion to the $75 billion raised last week.

Massive windfall for the schools. Massive tax savings windfall for SpaceX. The ISDs have a real challenge to sort out as to how to proceed if they approve this.

Minimally, if they approve it, I'd say they could have some very well paid public school teachers. That'd be a nice change!

They will probably have to build new schools to accommodate the influx of move ins. Iola is a tiny school and Anderson shiro is fairly small as well.

My questions are, what does this do to the College Station schools? What steps need to be taken so our current students don't find themselves suffering as a result of overcrowded classrooms? How are those steps implemented without hitting everyone hard for more bonds and property taxes?

I'll be honest, my youngest is going into 4th grade and making sure his schools dont turn into a circus is top priority. And Im already struggling to keep up with property taxes, like a lot of other people.

Everything else, bad or good, is pretty irrelevant for me.

Iola is building or has built a new high school. I think they're in good shape. Very well run school district at the highest levels.

CSISD has been losing students. Their projections were grim enough that the board voted to become an open enrollment district and accept transfer students living elsewhere.

So I think CSISD has plenty of room for an influx of new students. This is the kind of problem districts love to have.

Well, as I read it, this deal offers no abatement at all on I&S and only 50% on M&O. That means they could easily have a bond election and raise cash for new schools- IF they think they need it on that timeline. In the alternative they could pause, keep their powder dry and make capital improvements as they go- to an extent. Their budgets essentially double in the short term, then rocket (pardon the pun) to 7x to 9x in just a handful of years.

The fiscal implications for those ISDs is enormous.

What is an influx, sort of subjective. 1500 students and probable manageable ok, 5000 students and screwed.

---

The construction jobs are the bigger number but they're temporary. If I had to prognosticate I would bet Anderson-Shiro, Iola, CS, Bryan, and Navasota will all absorb additional students. I don't think one district will grab them all. You might also see an uptick farther out like in Huntsville ISD and other places like Brazos Christian or the ILT charter school.

Yalls debate is indicative of how hard a call it will be. Good points on all sides. Not an easy planning or fiscal discipline exercise. I wish them the best in their decision and if it's yes, I wish them the best in managing that growth.

I'm sure at some point the school districts in the region will meet and discuss the future. I sure hope so. If this goes through I'd sure love to see everyone talk about how well we managed it years from now.

Silos no more

A couple weeks before the Terafab announcement, Iola passed a bond to build a $69M high school. However, the design is more an upgrade for the existing facilities and assumes minimal projected growth (approximately a 7-10 additional high school students in the next seven years, according to the information they provided prior to the bond election). They only projected a 4% growth per year.

It seems like even with the new school, they will not be in a position to accept even a minor influx of families that the Bedias data center and Terafab could bring to the district.

Perhaps they could use the excessive administration office space for classrooms?

Bedias datacenter will have few permanent jobs. Terafab on the other hand will have a lot.

Correct and agreed. Far more direct jobs than they estimate in the application. They have to ensure they surpass it by a wide margin because if they don't, it breaches the agreement. Same for salary data. JETI requires a certain % of the average income. I think it's 110%. Notice they set estimated annual income for new jobs at $1 over the current average. That ensures they don't miss. Jobs and salaries will far exceed what's estimated.

And then there's indirect employment- which is the associated supplier wave as well as retail and commercial to service the growth in economic activity.
