Providing Lasting Value for the Community

Pacific Gateway will not only strengthen San Joaquin County through jobs and tax revenue, it will bring new infrastructure, as well as public safety services, parks and open spaces, and community educational access. 

From a new fire station for South San Joaquin County Fire Authority and new VFW Tracy Post 1537, to an 11-acre park and improved roadways, each element of Pacific Gateway carefully considers the wellbeing of the San Joaquin County community.  

Community Benefits

Pacific Gateway enhances community wellbeing by integrating parks, open spaces, pedestrian networks, and vibrant landscaping that encourage outdoor activities and connection to nature. At the heart of the development sits an 11-acre Gateway Park, a signature community green space designed to bring residents, workers, and students together.

Dual-purpose storm basins throughout the project will capture runoff and control flooding while doubling as amenities providing public spaces for recreation,  gathering, exercise, and rest. Pacific Gateway’s open spaces are connected by a network of pedestrian and bicycle paths, offering diverse options for activity and relaxation that support the social and environmental health of the community.

Pacific Gateway will feature a state-of-the-art fire station operated by the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority. Designed specifically to improve 911 emergency response times, the new station will provide fire protection to surrounding communities and serve the county’s highest-risk areas, helping keep local families and neighborhoods safe.

Located off the main entrance to Pacific Gateway, and strategically positioned within South County to provide quick access to high-risk areas, and the new fire station will serve as a regional hub for disaster response and public safety education, offering:

  • Fire prevention programs
  • First responder training
  • Emergency preparedness workshops
  • Advanced medical response capabilities

Pacific Gateway’s anticipated nearly $140 million in new annual tax revenue will directly support essential services,including firefighters, sheriffs, schools, road maintenance and repair, parks, and the critical infrastructure that keeps the community thriving.

Pacific Gateway is being planned in close coordination with the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority, including the dedication of land and funding for a new fire station to strengthen emergency response and support the region's long-term public safety needs.

Pacific Gateway has dedicated a site for a new 11,500-square-foot building for the Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Tracy Post 1537, providing a modern space for services, outreach, and community use. The VFW, a nonprofit organization for eligible veterans and service members, offers programs supporting veterans, their families, and the community.

The facility will house meeting spaces, administrative and counseling offices, and be available for events such as weddings, receptions, and school dances. Additionally, the site will include parking for recreational vehicles to offer traveling veterans a safe and secure location for short-term stays.

Pacific Gateway will enhance public infrastructure in the near and long term by improving existing roadways and adding new roads to assure an effective transportation network to service the Project and the surrounding community.

Located at the junction of Interstate 580 and State Route 132 in southwest San Joaquin County, the project is ideally positioned to leverage existing freeway infrastructure, and deliver upgrades needed to reduce congestion, improve public safety, and support safer, more efficient travel throughout the region. Roadway improvements will be phased alongside development, ensuring capacity grows in step with the project.

Pacific Gateway will address historic periodic local flooding from heavy rain events by implementing a comprehensive stormwater management system. This system will capture both project-generated runoff and existing stormwater flows, directing them into a network of terminal basins designed to alleviate localized flooding. The retained water will  naturally percolate into the soil, recharging groundwater sub-basins and contributing to long-term water sustainability.
