Governor Greg Abbott announced that Formosa Plastics will expand its Point Comfort site in nearby Jackson County with a new C6 production facility. The project brings $150 million in investment and qualifies for the state’s JETI program, which cuts the company’s school district property taxes in exchange for jobs and capital spending. Local leaders say the expansion strengthens the regional economy, though Formosa has faced past environmental complaints. Officials believe the project will boost job opportunities for families across Jackson County and the surrounding Gulf Coast region
