WHEREAS, The result of a groundbreaking public-private | ||
agreement, the new 100,000-square-foot headquarters will anchor | ||

years; in addition to the PGA and the City of Frisco, other | ||

WHEREAS, The complex will be home to two championship golf | ||
courses, a short course, and practice areas totaling 45 holes, as | ||
well as a clubhouse; scheduled to open in 2022, the courses will | ||
host several PGA championship tournaments, including the | ||
KitchenAid Senior PGA Championship in 2023; moreover, the complex | ||
will include a 500-room Omni Hotel resort, a 127,000-square-foot | ||
conference center, a state-of-the-art retail village, parks and | ||
open space, and several miles of walking trails; and | ||
WHEREAS, Rated by Money magazine in 2018 as the "Best Place | ||
to Live" in the nation, Frisco is thriving, and this new addition | ||
to the city promises to make significant contributions to the | ||
community; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 86th | ||
Legislature, hereby congratulate Frisco for becoming the new | ||
