Katy approves rezoning for Zipline drone charging station

Katy City Council approved a zoning change allowing drone-delivery company Zipline to build a station at West Ten Business Park, behind a shopping center on Katy Freeway. The proposed site will cover just under three acres and include six towers for launching, landing, docking and charging drones. Zipline says its aircraft can carry packages weighing up to eight pounds and serve customers within a three-mile radius.
