The Birmingham City Council this week cleared the way for construction of a proposed 65,000 square-foot TopGolf complex in Uptown. The council also approved a $1.5 million incentive package to be spread out over the next eight years. TopGolf officials say the building will bring roughly 450 jobs to the city, filled by local residents.
