Manteca, California

investment in our community happened in part because the City Council approved installing all the infrastructure required to make the site shovel- ready. The City has also approved a Master Plan for development of a ‘Family Entertainment Zone‘, which we expect will expand the venue experience and provide a wide variety of indoor and outdoor dining, leisure and recreation attractions to serve local residents and our many visitors. “Time is really a critical commodity for many of these projects, no matter what the price is. If you cannot commit to an approval within the acceptable time frame, there is no deal, at any price. We understand that. We’ve developed project-expediting methods where, if the project is really time-sensitive and needs to have its own kind of expedited review and approval, we can uncouple that project from the normal process and, at an additional cost, run it on its own pathway, its own track, through to completion and final approval, if that’s what it takes. In some cases, if a project can get open two or three months earlier, that is all the difference in the world between making a deal or not. Sometimes economics get worked out because that earlier opening solves the problem. Maybe they’re paying rent somewhere else and it pencils out in a favorable way.” “We want to be business-minded and business- friendly across-the-board and we understand fully that in this particular market, time is critical and we want to respect and respond to that.” MANTECA , CAL I FORNI A
