The current city council had made the decision years ago to ride the economic wave that was sweeping our country and ride they did. Vince Hernandez was quoted in September 2007 after winning re-election that "we must ride this wave to the fullest and then some". Samuel Anderson had a different tune, "We need to save and if we don't, we'll be in a huge deficit and we're going to get hit by a housing burst, it's just a matter of time and it's going to be soon."The current council is still trying to promote the growth and they want to continue to build and build and build more store fronts and business parks. However, there aren't any tenants to occupy the buildings.
Industrial Way is still the biggest failure and worst eyesore there is in Manteca, but hey, as the good ole' boys keep saying with the Manteca Bulletin, "Build it and they will come."
Here are some pictures of our many business centers that are completely unoccupied.
Do you see any cars parked there waiting to get in? I think we need new blood on our council. This year, Vote Samuel Anderson and Debby Moorhead.
