Council approves tax abatement and fee waivers to recruit StatCare urgent‑care clinic
Summary
Aransas Pass approved a three‑year tax abatement and waived permit/inspection/tap fees for Rabagos Healthcare PLLC (StatCare) to support a proposed urgent‑care clinic; company estimates breaking ground in 2–3 months with a 2026 opening.
The Aransas Pass City Council voted to approve a three‑year tax abatement and to waive all permitting, inspection and tap fees for Rabagos Healthcare PLLC doing business as StatCare Urgent Care, actions council members said were intended to encourage new health‑care services in the city.
Robert Rabagos, identified as COO/CFO of StatCare, told council the company plans to open its seventh Coastal Bend location in Aransas Pass. Rabagos said company clinics offer point‑of‑care testing, laceration repair, IV hydration and lab draws, and that StatCare accepts Medicare and major insurers. He said negotiations with a builder and architect were underway and that the project could break ground in two to three months with doors opening in 2026.
Council approved the tax‑abatement resolution and subsequently approved a separate motion to waive related permit, inspection and tap fees. No specific dollar value for the waived fees was noted in the record. Council members welcomed the addition as a boost for seniors and others who have identified a local urgent‑care need.
