GREAT WOLF ON THE PROWL
Gilroy may now be getting cold shoulder

The Great Wolf Lodge in Ground Mountain, Washington
Is Great Wolf Lodge casting its lot with Manteca?Reports out of Gilroy this week have elected city leaders in that city south of San Jose saying the water park resort has virtually written off locating there in favor of Manteca.That news comes after Great Wolf started talking to Brentwood in Contra Costa County in December of 2016 about the possibility of locating there. Great Wolf entered into an exclusive negotiating agreement with Brentwood in January 2017 some 15 months after walking away from talks with Colorado-based McWhinney Development Co. that is working with Manteca to develop a major waterpark resort site on 30 to 62 acres on municipal land west of Costco along the 120 Bypass.On Monday, Gilroy City Councilman Fred Tovar posted that the Great Wolf Lodge was choosing Manteca over the City of Gilroy but later removed the post on Tuesday, according to the Gilroy Dispatch. It was the feeling that the deal with the lodge had slipped away, but had it, a Dispatch reporter asked this week.
