CONROE, Texas (KBTX) - A new push is underway to bring a U.S. Space Academy to Texas, and the city of Conroe is moving forward with its own effort to host the academy.

The effort began last month when President Donald Trump signed an executive order for the creation of a new U.S. Space Academy.

As states compete to bring the academy to their communities, the city of Conroe says it has the land, infrastructure and proximity to NASA to make its case.
