The San Joaquin Partnership in the first six months of this year pitched three properties in Manteca to six prospective employers.One was for a Centerpoint Business Park spec building now moving through the planning process that’s dubbed “Project Laurie” and is envisioned to cover 1,199,997 square feet that put Manteca in the hunt for 920 to 1,266 jobs at the 190 acre site at Roth Road and Airport Way.Another was for a possible tenant for an existing building on Dupont Court in the Spreckels Business Park that would have 12 to 24 workers.The other four tenants were directed to the 88,533-square-foot former electronics assembly building at 400 Industrial Park Drive to consider.The six prospective employers were among 85 firms on the Partnership’s “hot client list” involving 85 concerns working with the organization from January to July to re-locate, expand or launch a start-up business. That means Manteca only had available space or spec projects far enough along to meet the needs of 5 percent of all businesses actively shopping one of the hottest spots in Northern California for distribution and supply firms — South San Joaquin County.It is against that backdrop that the Manteca City Council on Tuesday will revisit whether to contribute $35,000 to the San Joaquin Partnership to help bring jobs to San Joaquin County. The council meets at 7 p.m. at the Civic Center, 1001 W. Center St.The proposal to send the Partnership $35,000 was slammed in a June budget workshop by Councilwoman Debby Moorhead after she asked, “what have they (the Partnership) done for Manteca?”No one at the time could answer Moorhead’s question about specific jobs the Partnership helped bring to Manteca despite the city investing more than $600,000 in the organization since the early 1990s.That led to a dialogue with Partnership representatives in July where the organization that’s credited with helping San Joaquin County land well over 10,000 new jobs since the 1990s.To answer Moorhead’s question as to why the likes of Amazon, United Parcel Service, and a multitude of other firms seeking to locate distribution centers and other business park style operations in San Joaquin County to serve the richest regional economy in the county that surrounds the San Francisco Bay are bypassing Manteca, the Partnership produced brutally honest numbers:uOf 11 million square feet of existing industrial space in the county, only 212,000 square feet of 1.8 percent of the overall total is in Manteca.
