Aalo Atomics confirmed on Thursday, Aug. 20 that the company has no plans to continue a project to build a testing site near McMahan.

The company halted construction after being advised that it could not continue work on the site until it obtained a commercial water well permit from Plum Creek Conservation District and a septic permit from Caldwell County.

Businesses operating in unincorporated areas of the county must obtain these permits and pass inspection to determine whether the building or buildings comply with the Caldwell County Fire Code.

The fire code, which was passed 3-2 in Caldwell County Commissioners Court on Aug. 13, 2026, can be viewed on the county ordinances page: https://www.co.caldwell.tx.us/page/ordinances

Chief EMC Hector Rangel and Deputy Chief EMC Joann Garza-Mayberry are the hardworking duo who keep things moving and help keep the community safe at the Caldwell County Office of Emergency Management. Caldwell County commissioners proclaimed August 2026 as National Emergency Management Month at their August 13 meeting to honor what their office does for the community, which includes developing emergency plans, conducting training exercises, educating the public on disaster readiness, and establishing critical partnerships with Texas Division of Emergency Management, Federal Emergency Management Agency, and other government agencies, volunteer organizations, and the private sector.

We encourage all citizens, businesses, and organizations to join us in recognizing the vital work of emergency managers who work diligently to prepare, protect, and serve our community against all hazards and risks, and to take this opportunity to enhance their own personal and organizational preparedness plans.
