What is this study?

The SEARF Feasibility Study is a structured assessment of the potential for aerospace, aeronautics, and space exploration-related development in West Central Texas. A region-specific roadmap will be developed to capture viable aerospace and space industry opportunities while strengthening workforce and education pipelines, enhancing infrastructure readiness and permitting capacity, and aligning with policy, regulatory, safety, and technology standards. This approach is designed to deliver measurable outcomes, including job creation, GDP growth, expansion of the taxable base, and economic diversification, while remaining fully compliant with key federal frameworks such as FAA, NEPA, DOE, and DOC requirements.
