Manteca Bulletin
The Building Industry Association of the Delta wants Manteca to reduce all growth impact fees for three years in a bid to rev up new housing construction. That request is part of a six-point plan the BIA has submitted to Manteca. It is in response to the council exploring ways to put more people back to work by finding ways to get housing construction to pick up. The building trades and the ripple effect of home building are seen as the best way Manteca can start cutting into its record 15 percent unemployment.
