Point Isabel ISD's school board unanimously rejected a $160 million tax abatement for Texas LNG Brownsville LLC during a meeting. The board cited community concerns and the alignment of the project with district values.

Texas LNG is proposing a $4 billion liquefied natural gas facility. The project would create jobs but has faced opposition over potential environmental damage and the destruction of a Native American historic site.

This decision follows a pattern, with the district previously rejecting similar tax abatement proposals for LNG projects. The board emphasized the need for decisions that support long-term financial stability and community values.
