BROWNSVILLE, Texas--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Texas LNG, a four million tonnes per annum (“MTPA”) liquefied natural gas (“LNG”) export terminal to be constructed in the Port of Brownsville, Texas, owned by energy transition leader, Glenfarne Energy Transition (“Glenfarne”), was approved for a Texas Tax Code Chapter 312 tax abatement from Cameron County. The tax abatement was approved by a four to one vote of the Cameron County Commissioners Court, which will bring Cameron County financial flexibility and funding to bring added services and infrastructure to the area.
