Manteca Seeks Partner to Re-envision IOOF Hall into Mixed-Use Destination
What happened
The City of Manteca is seeking a development partner to re-envision the IOOF Hall building and its adjacent parking lot. The city purchased the 12,600 square-foot property for $1.2 million. The city plans to transform the site into a restaurant, retail, or mixed-use destination to create a community hub and increase downtown foot traffic. An interested party from the Bay Area has scheduled early concept conversations with the city's economic development staff.
