On the heels of Cedar Park-based Firefly Aerospace Inc. successfully putting a lunar lander on the Moon, counties adjacent to Austin are taking a step to grow the Central Texas space industry.

The Williamson County Commissioners Court on March 11 unanimously approved the creation and bylaws of the Central Texas Spaceport Development Corp., an entity being formed in partnership with Burnet County.

Additional steps remain, including the filing of articles of incorporation and the appointment of a seven-member oversight board. Burnet County is scheduled to vote on the plan March 25.
