THE ALBUQUERQUE CITY COUNCIL’S EFFORTS TO BRING TOPGOLF TO THE CITY APPARENTLY AREN’T OVER YET. MAYOR TIM KELLER MONDAY VETOED A MORE THAN TWO AND-A-HALF MILLION DOLLAR ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT PACKAGE FOR TOPGOLF WHICH WANTS TO BUILD AN ENTERTAINMENT COMPLEX AT I-25 AND MONTANO. THE COUNCIL APPROVED THE ORDINANCE ON AN 8-1 VOTE LAST MONTH.
IT WOULD TAKE ONLY SIX VOTES TO OVERRIDE THE VETO. KELLER SAYS HE HAS CONCERNS ABOUT THE INCENTIVE PACKAGE AND THE LACK OF PROTECTION FOR TAXPAYERS.
