Editor, Manteca Bulletin,

If you are traveling along East Highway 120 corridor you may notice the Old “Welcome to Manteca” sign is missing.

Mantecans can thank Manteca Chamber of Commerce Chief Executive Officer Debby Moorhead and South San Joaquin Irrigation District General Manager Jeff Shields for the removal.

The sign has been an eyesore for many years. It had been left there to allow a new sign to be grandfathered in without dealing with new guidelines in that location. A new digital sign is in the works and will be installed at a new location.

Thanks, Debby and Jeff, for your dedication to Manteca.
