FORT BEND COUNTY, Texas (KTRK) -- Tech giant Tesla is hoping to build a solar manufacturing facility in Fort Bend County by 2028, according to documents obtained by ABC13.

The documents, submitted to the Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts on behalf of Tesla by the firm Kroll, indicate that the facility, which would be located on FM 1994 and FM 762 near Needville, aims to start operations in 2029. "The proposed facility would be expected to manufacture photovoltaic solar cells and/or assembled solar modules, which are components used to convert sunlight into electricity," Kroll wrote in its submission.

Kroll said the project would lead to nearly 10,000 permanent jobs, over 1,100 construction jobs, and would create billions in property tax revenue over the coming decades.
