Brookshire, Texas—Tesla is once again shaking up the Texas economy, and this time, it’s turbocharging job creation in the heart of Waller County. The electric vehicle and clean energy giant is investing nearly $200 million to establish a state-of-the-art “Megafactory” in Brookshire’s Empire West Business Park—bringing at least 1,500 advanced manufacturing jobs and a multi-million-dollar economic boost to West Houston.

Big Investment, Bigger Impact

In a March 5 meeting, the Waller County Commissioners Court approved tax abatements for Tesla’s ambitious new project. Tesla’s expansion in Brookshire will mirror the company’s highly successful “Megafactory” in Lathrop, California, where the company produces utility-scale Megapack batteries—powerful energy storage solutions critical to global sustainability efforts. The Lathrop facility churns out 10,000 Megapacks annually, equivalent to 40 gigawatt hours of energy storage.

This move cements Texas’ role as a clean energy powerhouse while offering local workers high-paying jobs in advanced manufacturing, robotics, and automation.

"We are building the future of energy right here in Waller County," a Tesla representative stated at the March 5 meeting. "This facility will not only bring cutting-edge technology to the region but will also create long-term, high-quality jobs that support families and communities."
