Frequently Asked Questions
Pacific Gateway is a world class, mixed use master planned development designed to bring jobs, education, and improved infrastructure to San Joaquin County so more residents can live, learn, and work closer to home.
The project is located at the junction of Interstate 580 and State Route 132, centered along Chrisman Road, a Federal STAA route, in San Joaquin County. Highways I-580 and SR-132 connect to Interstate 5 and State Route 99.
Pacific Gateway is expected to generate more than $135 million in annual revenue, create more than 15,000 full-time jobs, and produce $3.6 billion dollars in long-term, annual economic activity. Pacific Gateway means more jobs closer to home and more resources for schools, roads, parks, and public safety.
Pacific Gateway is projected to create approximately 24,000 construction jobs during development and generate over 15,000 full time jobs at project build out. These jobs would span industries such as advanced manufacturing, logistics, e-commerce, technology, clean energy, and related services, creating opportunities that many local residents currently must commute long distances to find.
The project is designed to attract companies in advanced manufacturing, clean energy, high-tech agricultural, e-commerce, and logistics. These businesses will bring modern, high-quality jobs to the region and create stronger career pathways for San Joaquin County and the Central Valley.
California State University, Stanislaus is exploring an opportunity to establish an academic site and campus at Pacific Gateway. This Tracy campus will expand access to higher education by allowing more students to earn four-year degrees close to home, saving families time and money.
CSU Stanislaus is planning on offering programs in computer science, including cybersecurity and artificial intelligence, business administration with a focus on supply chain management and logistics, agricultural sciences, and teaching.
By bringing a CSU Stanislaus extension campus and new job opportunities to the area, Pacific Gateway will help reduce commuting time, and vehicle miles travelled, making it easier for students and families to access affordable higher education and build careers close to home. This means more time for families, lower costs for students, and more opportunity for the next generation to stay and succeed in San Joaquin County.
Pacific Gateway includes retail spaces, a 7-acre public EV auto and truck charging lot, an 11-acre Gateway Park, land dedicated for a new VFW Tracy Post 1537, and the addition of a modern fire station for South San Joaquin County Fire Authority. These amenities are designed to improve quality of life for local residents, and position Pacific Gateway as a broader community asset, as well as an education and employment center.
Pacific Gateway will balance growth with responsible environmental stewardship and preservation. The project will assure at least one acre of land for each acre developed is dedicated to a permanent conservation easement managed by a farmland trust, preserving over 1,500 acres of farmland. Further, Pacific Gateway will participate in the San Joaquin County Multi-Species Habitat Conservation & Open Space Plan (SJMSCP), a long-term, 50-year regional Habitat Conservation Plan (HCP) for the protection of sensitive species in San Joaquin County.
Pacific Gateway will use about 85% less water than current farming operations, untilize recycled water for irrigation, and capture stormwater runoff to recharge groundwater subbasins and mitigate localized flooding.
The project includes a new fire station for the South San Joaquin County Fire Authority that will improve emergency response times, provide fire protection to surrounding and high-risk areas, and support training, prevention programs, and emergency preparedness. For nearby families and businesses, that means stronger public safety infrastructure in a growing part of the county.
The build out of Pacific Gateway will foster over $500M in public infrastructure, improving existing roads and developing new roads to improve traffic flow and safety. By creating jobs closer to where people live, it can also help reduce long commutes that contribute to congestion today.
Pacific Gateway is expected to generate nearly $140 million in annual tax revenue. Those dollars can help support essential public services such as schools, road repairs, parks, and emergency services throughout the region.
As San Joaquin County continues to grow, residents continue to commute long distances for work and education. Pacific Gateway will bring those jobs and affordable public education closer to home, helping reduce vehicle miles traveled and commute times, support local families, expand access to higher education, and strengthen the local economy.
