RIDGELAND, Miss (WJTV) – Heavy machinery is on site at the future Topgolf location in Madison County.

Gabriel Prado, the CEO of PraCon Global Investment Group, said they plan to hold a groundbreaking ceremony in February 2024 for Prado Vista in Ridgeland.

“This project has been in the works for over two years, and I am very grateful for all of the people that were involved in the public and private sector to get it to the finish line. Mississippi is land of winners, and we are showing the world the momentum that those winners are building,” Prado stated.

Ridgeland leaders approved a preliminary plat for Topgolf on August 2, 2023, which is part of Phase I of the project. The Prado Vista development will include more than 200 homes and the Topgolf facility.

Ridgeland leaders approved the Prado Vista Overlay District in April 2023. The development will be located on Sunnybrook Road and Colony Park Boulevard.

The development is expected to bring more traffic to the area, so more traffic lights will be put up. Several concrete walls will also go up to help block out the noise.

A wetland sits near the middle of the property, which developers will use in their design as a riverwalk.

According to officials, the Topgolf facility is expected to generate about $1 million in tax revenue and provide about 200 jobs to the area.
