The site is immediately south of the new storm retention basin put in place by CaltransThe city has already put aside $2,630,000 in residual redevelopment bond sale proceeds that are part of the mandatory 20 percent set aside for affordable housing that was required under state law. Manteca also added $450,000 in pass through housing funds the city obtained from the federal government to help pay for the $14 million project.Under state law, the city will not be on the hook for a cent of the debt repayment.
