ALICE’S ENGLISH’S PRA UNCOVERS PROLOGIS’ TOPGOLF PLANS PRESENTED AT A MARCH 2022 WESTSIDE DEVELOPMENT PLAN PRESENTATION TO THE CITY.
Kudos to former Tracy City Council candidate Alice English for providing tangible proof of Prologis’ future plans for a Topgolf in Tracy. The city posted Ms. English’s PRA (link here) regarding a Topgolf and in the city’s response were several documents reflecting the envisioned Topgolf.

You can read more about the city attorney's stonewalling of local businesses here and here. While we’re grateful for the help of Alice English, we are a bit surprised that she’s been disingenuous about Prologis’ plans for a Topgolf in Tracy. Afterall, she was at the March 2022 public hearing and spoke in support of the idea –

A Topgolf WOULD HAVE BEEN GREAT for Tracy, Alice. Maybe when you’re talking with Tracy City Attorney Patel, as she sits in her multi-million dollar home in San Ramon, you can put in a good word for the project.
