A PROPOSED TOPGOLF ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX IS ONE STEP CLOSER TO REALITY AFTER GETTING THE GREEN LIGHT FROM THE ABQ DEVELOPMENT COMMISSION. THE PROJECT WOULD BE BUILT AT I-25 AND MONTANO. CITY COUNCILOR KEN SANCHEZ SAYS THE PROPOSAL INVOLVES A 2.6 MILLION DOLLAR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE…BUT TAXPAYERS WOULD BE PROTECTED.
HE SAYS THERE ARE CLAWBACKS INCLUDED IN THE PACKAGE THAT WOULD HAVE TOPGOLF REPAYING ALBUQUERQUE SOME OF THE MONEY FUNNELED INTO THE FACILITY IF THEY DON’T HIRE AS MANY PEOPLE AS PROMISED.
SANCHEZ SAYS PLANNED ROAD IMPROVEMENTS IN THE AREA WOULD SPUR FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. THE CITY COUNCIL TAKES UP THE MATTER MONDAY NIGHT.
