SpaceX is looking at expanding its delayed South Texas launch pad to add a “superfacility” where used rockets can land and be refurbished for reuse, according to a Texas state representative.

Texas State Rep. René Oliveira, D-Brownsville, whose district includes the remote Boca Chica beach launch site, said SpaceX is envisioning a superfacility that Oliveira believes would drive job creation and economic development.

“We have received tentative commitments that they plan on launching in 2019,” Oliveira said in a phone call Thursday. “Whether they will be doing the refurbishing and all of that by then, I don’t know. We are not privy to all of the details and the timing.”

SpaceX originally plannned to complete a single launch pad in Boca Chica in 2017 or launches this year, but its work in South Texas was sidelined in September 2016, when a SpaceX rocket exploded on the launch pad in Florida. The facility was heavily damaged and diverted resources away from Boca Chica, Oliveira said.

Recent photos of the site show two ground station antennas that are meant to track manned flights by SpaceX in addition to a solar panel array and Tesla battery packs.

Oliveira said rather than string up utility lines to the remote site, which is located at the southern tip of Texas, SpaceX constructed the solar array and battery installation for power.

Company spokesman James Gleeson said in an email that SpaceX was targeting the South Texas site to be operational in late 2018, but the company is “reviewing our progress and we will turn it online as soon as it’s ready.”

In an interview conducted after SpaceX’s successful launch of its Falcon Heavy rocket, CEO Elon Musk indicated that testing of the company’s new interplanetary rocket, nicknamed the BFR — big (expletive) rocket — could take place at the South Texas launch site as early as 2019. Other options include testing the rocket using ship landing sites.

Musk introduced the concept of the BFR during a presentation titled “Becoming a Multiplanet Species” and envisions the BFR being used to send humans to Mars.

Oliveira’s office confirmed that SpaceX is applying for an additional $5 million that was set aside in the Spaceport Trust Fund, money that was added during the last legislative session. That money could be used to help reimburse SpaceX for new infrastructure beyond what the company originally planned.

Musk announced the Boca Chica launch site in 2014, and since then SpaceX has received at least $13 million in incentives from the Spaceport Trust Fund, and another $2.3 million through a grant from the Texas Enterprise Fund. SpaceX has had to return more than $90,000 of the $400,000 disbursed by the Texas Enterprise Fund.
