A decision on a tax break for a proposed shipyard at the Port of Brownsville has been put on hold. The Cameron County Commissioners Court tabled the matter on Tuesday. The proposed shipyard, called "Port Alpha", is a project of an Austin-based defense technology company.

It is expected to be a next-generation facility with a significant price tag. Further details on the proposal and the tax break are available from the Cameron County Commissioners Court or other local sources, such as MyRGV.
