A major supermarket chain wants to build a store on the southwest corner of Main Street and Woodward Avenue in South Manteca If it is a typical 45,000-square-foot store, it will cost the grocery firm $1,538,010 alone for a proposed major road fee. That’s a bargain compared to the proposed 750-room hotel that’s part of a 60-acre plus destination resort including an indoor waterpark, conference center, outdoor waterpark, and other outdoor amusements such as go-cart racing that Manteca is reportedly getting down to the wire in negotiations. At a proposed $4,844 charge per room for major roads, that fee alone would come to a $3,633,000.
