Manteca’s pitch for 1,370 jobs - enough to cut the city’s current 12.3 percent unemployment rate in half - could start turning into reality in 2013. •Centerpoint Properties’ 3.1 million square-foot intermodal facility in northwest Manteca is expected to ultimately create 600 permanent full-time jobs. That is in addition to 800 temporary construction jobs. •Great Wolf Resort’s proposal to build at least a 400-room hotel and indoor water park with conference center could employ 570 workers with 414 of those positions being full-time. The project could provide up to 1,000 temporary construction jobs.
