HOMELESS STICKER SHOCK: $20M Converting Qualex to navigation center 5 times as costly as at city owed sites at Wilson Park or solid waste yard The Qualex building in the Manteca Industrial Park.
It will cost at least $20 million to establish a homeless center in the former Qualex photo processing plant building.
That amount of money almost enough to upgrade to diverging diamond interchanges at Airport Way or Main Street as the city just did at Union Road to simply get a structure ready to serve as a year round center to address homeless issues would likely prompt the Manteca City Council to abandon the idea.
