Massive distribution center to create 1,500 jobs in Stanislaus County

Patterson is now considering a 3.25 million-square-foot distribution center, which is almost three times larger than a 1.2 million-square-foot warehouse on Sperry Avenue approved earlier this month. According to applications filed with the city, the huge distribution center at the southwest corner of Rogers and Zacharias roads would be “built to suit” for an e-commerce company to fulfill orders from customers. The company has not been identified. It would be the largest distribution center in the city, which has logistics facilities as large as 1.5 million square feet.

Simply called Project Zach, the center will have five floors and about 1,500 employees. A city use permit is required because the 107-foot height is twice the city standard of 45 feet. Other features include 59 loading docks, a proposed 983 parking spaces for passenger cars and 506 truck trailer stalls. Small products, less than 25 pounds, will be packaged on the ground floor and mezzanine and stored on the upper floors.

The project got a public hearing Thursday evening before the city Planning Commission. The panel was to review a number of issues because of Project Zach’s size and location near the foothills of western Stanislaus County. “The city’s primary concern with large buildings is the potential impacts on residences and views of the hills,” City spokesperson Victoria Castro said by email. “The municipal code includes requirements to ensure projects like this are located far from residences to protect the views.” Issues such as truck traffic and air quality are being addressed through conditions of approval for Project Zach, Castro said. A city report says the proposed facility is more than 2,000 feet from the nearest property inside the city zoned for residential development.

The 102-acre site is within the West Patterson Business Park Expansion planned for 13.5 million squares of feet of light industrial and commercial uses. The owner is NCP Patterson Holdings. A representative of Panattoni Development Co. did not return a message from The Modesto Bee. The city required an amendment to the 2012 environmental study on the business park expansion, but the adverse impacts of Project Zach are not more severe than impacts of the entire expansion, so there’s no need for major revisions, the addendum concluded. The city turned heads by landing distribution centers at a time when some California cities were desperate for any job creation. Patterson’s business park expansion, driven by Interstate 5 access, was capped by a 1 million-square-foot Amazon Fulfillment Center in 2014. But warehousing and distribution draw more complaints today regarding substandard wages, truck traffic and air emissions.

A city planning report says Project Zach is exempt from Assembly Bill 98, which was passed by the Legislature to restrict truck routes and impose more stringent requirements on logistics projects in California. Project Zach is part of the Arambel Business Park master plan, approved years ago. Initial standards of AB 98 went into effect Jan. 1. In 2012, the EIR found that the West Patterson Business Park expansion would eliminate 749 acres of prime farmland, 278 acres of unique farmland and 82 acres considered important by the state. The new distribution operation, including 652,000 square feet on each floor, is expected to exceed San Joaquin Air Pollution Control District emissions for volatile organic compounds and nitrogen oxides. The center will generate 400 vehicle trips during the busiest morning hours and more than 900 trips in the worst hours after noon.

State regulations will require a five-minute limit on idling diesel-powered vehicles at the facility. Before building permits are issued, Project Zach is expected to comply with San Joaquin Valley Air Pollution Control District rules to reduce nitrogen oxides emissions by 33% and tiny particle emissions from diesel trucks by 50%. That can be done through onsite emission reductions or payment of mitigation fees. The environmental study on the entire West Patterson Business Park expansion anticipates 11,755 vehicle trips during morning hours and 15,319 after noon. Project Zach is expected to fund its share of road and intersection improvements before a final map is approved. As the business park continues to develop, the plan has called for improvements of the I-5 and Sperry Avenue interchange, signals where Rogers Road meets Highway 33, and other intersection improvements.

In addition, Project Zach will contribute fair-share fees for an I-5 and Zacharias Road interchange connected to the proposed South County Corridor expressway. The Planning Commission’s approval June 12 of a 1.2 million-square-foot logistics center on Sperry Avenue sparked some jeers on social media bemoaning another warehouse and that this one would eliminate a corn maze popular with families. Castro said the city is seeking diverse development and is reviewing multiple applications including nearly 2,000 housing units and commercial projects such as a new shopping center. It’s reviewing proposals for additional industrial buildings including manufacturing and medical facilities, she said.

Patterson part of primary logistics market an economic development whitepaper for the Modesto 2050 General Plan Update and EIR in 2022 analyzed the rapid expansion of the logistics industry in the Northern San Joaquin Valley. There was steady growth in e-commerce before the pandemic and then the COVID-19 lockdowns in 2020 spurred enormous global growth in online sales. San Joaquin County is a major hub for warehousing and distribution due to truck and rail transportation modes, relatively inexpensive land, labor supply and freeways like Interstates 580 and 205 connecting with the Bay Area and Port of Oakland, the whitepaper said. Tracy is a leader with regional warehouse and distribution businesses in a primary market taking in Lathrop, Manteca, Stockton and Patterson. The report noted that Patterson and Stockton are equal distance from the Port of Oakland. Although Patterson has a smaller labor supply, it has the least expensive land and fee costs, the whitepaper said.

Modesto lies southeast of the primary market area and is at a disadvantage for logistics development, with the greater mileage increasing costs for operators, the paper said. The city inhabits a secondary market with opportunities, but with supervisors earning around $25 an hour and robotics taking on much of the warehouse work, the 2022 paper said some communities question the desirability of logistics development.

Visalia’s retail growth just doubled the national average, what’s behind the surge?

The Visalia metropolitan area more than doubled the national average for retail growth between 2020 and 2024, according to an analysis of U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics numbers. The report, conducted by Michigan-based printer Printastic, ranked the area 27th for retail establishment growth among midsize U.S. metropolitan areas, with an 8.1% increase. The analysis also showed that retail employment in the area increased 9.5% during the same period. Nationally, the increase in retail stores was 3.7% between 2020 and 2024, according to the report. The study showed that there were 1,123 retail establishments in the Visalia metro area last year, and they employed a total of 16,668 people. These numbers indicate increases of 84 retail establishments and 1,450 retail employees since 2020.

“That’s consistent with what I’m seeing in terms of new building permit activity for retail and the buildout of new shopping centers across town, not only on Mooney, but in North Visalia (Orchard Walk West and the North Costco) and East Visalia (The Hub at Walnut and Lovers Lane, and the second Vallarta by Noble and Lovers Lane),” said Devon Jones, Visalia economic development manager.

Jones offered three reasons for the local growth in retail business.

“First and foremost, we are fortunate to have excellent retail development and property owner partners such as Paynter Realty, Brookfield Properties, the Orosco Group, Cal Gold Development, and the Shehadey and Shannon Families to name a few,” he said. “We’re lucky to have lots of investment interest in Visalia and will continue to be a strong development partner for those that choose to invest in us.”

Jones said that Visalia is fortunate to be the metro center for the Tulare/Kings and southern Fresno County region.

“Being the metro and services hub gives us the benefit of drawing visits from the broader trade area population beyond our own city’s population,” Jones said. “This gives us a true ability to provide quality sites for regional retail tenants. This is in addition to the flow of visitors we see annually for Convention Center events and the Sequoia and Kings Canyon National Parks.”

Lastly, Jones said that the city is remains focused on the “basic formula” for sound economic development and economic diversification.

“That is, creating primary jobs that add outside wealth into the local economy to spur new job creation that leads to new housing demand, which in turn generates more demand for local services such as retail, healthcare, education, etc.,” Jones said.

Primary jobs are those that produce goods and services in excess of what can be consumed at the local level, thereby exporting income into the local economy, he explained.

“Essentially, this export income grows the local economic pie that we divide up amongst ourselves – other businesses/vendors, public agencies, local services,” Jones said.

“In Visalia, we are blessed to have many primary job sectors including health care and tourism, but the sectors with the greatest reach are those typically found in our industrial park, such as food processing, manufacturing, and logistics/distribution,” he added. “Many of these businesses serve international, nationwide, or Western U.S. markets. Luckily, we have lots of great companies in our industrial park and again, have strong industrial development partners that will help us to realize more growth for years to come.”

There is an effort to encourage future growth, according to Jones.

“We will continue to focus on economic diversification and primary job creation as a core economic development priority, and also be a strong development partner for those seeking to invest in Visalia, whether it be commercial, industrial, or residential,” he said.

A big supermarket is coming to Madera. Can it spur a Highway 41 retail surge?

A 40,000-square-foot supermarket is coming to the Riverstone community, marking a long-awaited arrival of a grocery store to serve the growing neighborhoods of southeast Madera County. The Sacramento-based grocer has announced plans to build a Raley’s O-N-E (“organics, nutrition, education”) store as part of a 61,000-square-foot expansion of retail space at Riverstone’s Riverwalk shopping center at Avenue 12 and Highway 41. Riverwalk already features several storefronts and is planned as the future home of a Riley’s Brewing Co. project that will add another restaurant, brewery, taproom and farmers market event center. But the arrival of a supermarket means residents of Riverstone, Tesoro Viejo and other Highway 41 neighborhoods will no longer have to travel elsewhere for groceries. “This new store won’t just serve our residents — it will become a destination for the surrounding region, offering convenient access to healthy, fresh food and a shopping experience that reflects the values and lifestyle we’re building here in Riverstone,” Tim Jones, the community’s developer, said in a news release Tuesday.

This Raley’s would be the second in Madera County. According to the company’s announcement, the Riverstone location will “include an extensive selection of fresh prepared foods, natural and organic products, locally sourced produce, and a café.” Construction is expected to begin early next year and the store could open in 2027. Raley’s a ‘catalyst’ for retail?

The coming construction of a supermarket as a retail anchor for Riverwalk also represents a significant step toward a future where enough new storefront pop up to fill residents’ needs along the Highway 41 corridor. The area, which has experienced a housing boom since Riverstone began selling homes in 2017, is home to several large commercial centers in the planning stages. In Tesoro Viejo, developers plan to offer 3 million square feet of non-residential space for businesses. To the south, Valley Children’s Hospital plans to build “The Hill,” a mixed-use development that will include 30 stores on 443 acres of its property near the San Joaquin River. At full-buildout, Riverstone’s Riverwalk would be a 1 million-square-foot retail-focused development.

District 1 Madera County Supervisor Jordan Wamhoff said the arrival of Raley’s represents a “huge boon” for the area. “This store is going to serve as a catalyst for other development in that area,” he said in a statement. “It’s going to open up a new wave of retail, commercial shopping centers.”

Kristina Gallagher, executive director of the Madera County Economic Development Commission, said in a Wednesday phone interview that multiple businesses are going through the process of completing letters of intent to lease space at Riverwalk. But for now, the names of those businesses have to remain confidential, she said. “We’re looking at all kinds of options,” she said. Riley’s Brewing Co. still coming to Riverstone, owner says Riley’s Brewing Co. is still planning on building a brewery, restaurant and a 12,000-plus square-foot taproom and farmers market event center in the Riverstone shopping center. The company’s owner, Dan Riley, first announced the brewery’s Riverstone plans in 2023, describing the project as a “beer garden … designed to be kind of the local hangout.” But the year before the announcement, a fire had destroyed the brewery’s main facility in Madera. Since then, the brewery has opened a taphouse in Selma, but Riley said he is still waiting for banking approval for the planned Riverstone location. “Things have been a little bit slow with the economy and the fire we had, but we’re still moving forward,” he said. Riley said the arrival of the Raley’s supermarket will provide some assurance to shop-owners that business will be strong at Riverstone. “I always believe one plus one is three,” he said. “The more things for people to do there, the better.”

Sam’s Club building store in Lathrop’s Stanford Crossing

Lathrop is getting a Sam’s Club. On Thursday, the membership store operated by Walmart announced it will build one of 30 planned new stores over the next five years at Stanford Crossing west of Interstate 5 in Lathrop.

“Lathrop’s position as California’s fastest-growing city makes it an ideal location for retailers,” said Lathrop Mayor Paul Akinjo. “This is a major win for the community, and we are excited to welcome Sam’s Club with open arms.”

Sam’s Club is a retail store where customers – much like Costco – pay a membership fee to access lower prices on a variety of merchandise that’s often sold in bulk.

It is likely to draw consumer dollars from Tracy and Manteca that both have a Walmart but not a Sam’s Club

The City of Lathrop noted on its website, “this new Sam’s Club will significantly enhance shopping convenience, provide job opportunities, and boos the local economic activity.”

Lathrop is California’s fastest growing city.  While Manteca added 1,306 housing units last year, its growth rate was 3.1 percent. Manteca currently has 93,000 residents, Lathrop, with less homes to start with, added less homes than Manteca but had a 5.8 percent growth rate. Lathrop currently has 38,857 residents. Detail on construction of the Sam’s Club along with other club features will soon be announced.

Sam Club’s typically represent a $15 million to $25 million investment to build depending upon square footage and location. The Sam Club’s announcement comes after the Lathrop Marketplace had secured new businesses that will be locating in the retail complex on the southwest corner of the Louise Avenue and Interstate 5 interchange.

The development that currently consists of Target, In-N-Out, Sprouts, Starbucks, Chipotle, and Chick-fil-A will be adding a Sutter Health Urgent Care, Sourdough & Co., Cold Stone & Kung Fu Tea, Curry Pizza, and 88 Bao Bao Dumplings & Ramen. Sam’s Club has more than 600 stores in the United States. Costco, by comparison, has 890 stores in the United States including in Manteca and Tracy.

New beginnings for Reedley plant: Local business takes over Prima Wawona site

The Reedley facility previously operated by Prima Wawona — once the largest producer of stone fruit in North America — has been acquired by a local, family-owned business.

G2 Commercial Complex, LLC, has been named as the buyer of the former Gerawan Farming Plant 2 at 1467 E. Dinuba Ave. in Reedley. The transaction will ultimately create up to 100 jobs, said Reedley City Manager Nicole Zieba.

The cold storage facility — 360,000 square feet on nearly 29 acres — was previously owned by private equity firm Paine Schwartz and historically leased by Prima Wawona. Prima Wawona filed for bankruptcy protection in October 2023, also selling off more than 13,000 acres of farmland.

The cold storage sale was facilitated by Schuil Ag Real Estate and Colliers.

The acquisition marks a significant milestone for G2, according to a news release from Schuil Ag Real Estate, with aims to enhance its operational capabilities and further its commitment to providing quality storage capacity and improve its service offerings.

Packline manufactures processing and packing equipment for the produce industry.

“We are excited to announce this acquisition, which not only represents a strategic growth opportunity for our company but also underscores our commitment to the community and the agricultural sector,” said the CEO of G2 Commercial Complex, LLC, in a statement. “For us, Gerawan Plant 2 has always been a mainstay in the industry with a rich history, and we look forward to revitalizing it and continuing to build on its legacy.”

The former Gerawan facility will be revitalized under G2’s stewardship, according to the release.  The company plans to invest in upgrades and improvements to ensure the facility meets the highest standards of efficiency and quality.

Agent Stephen Schuil represented the buyers, and agent Rick Schuil along with Colliers represented the sellers.

“We are proud to have played a role in facilitating this important transaction,” Rick Schuil said. “G2 Commercial Complex, LLC is a respected name in the industry, and we are confident that they will bring new life to the Reedley Wawona facility.”

Zieba said that “having life” back in the facility is a positive move for the city.

“Its on one of our busier thoroughfares and to have life back in that big building on an important corridor represents new beginnings,” she said.

BC partners with Amazon, Wonderful on industrial workforce training

Bakersfield College will become just the fifth institution in the United States, and the only one near the West Coast, to offer a certification program teaching apprentices at Amazon to become electromechanical technicians. The program is a three-organization partnership in that the e-commerce giant will contract with BC to train the company’s employees and employees of The Wonderful Co. will be hired by the college for the purpose of supporting the training. The training itself is planned to take place at The Wonderful Career Center in Shafter.

The company’s Reliability and Maintenance Engineering program is being funded by a $1.37 million contribution from the Bakersfield College Foundation’s donor-funded Innovation Fund, which will pay for the initiative’s training equipment. Companies that develop and operate local distribution centers have prioritized workforce development in recent years as they try to keep up with increased demand for people who can not only handle products in warehouses but also maintain and repair machinery, some of it automated, inside the buildings.

BC President Jerry E. Fliger said in a news release the partnership is an example of what career technical education should be — “effective and directly connected to industry needs.”

“Working together with industry leaders like Amazon and Wonderful bridges education and workforce development,” he added. “Because of this collaboration, BC will provide individuals with real skills that lead to high-paying, in-demand jobs.”

Added Cheryl Scott, executive director of the BC Foundation, “This partnership with Amazon is a perfect example of how strategic investments in education can transform lives and industries.”

A BC spokeswoman said by email Monday apprentices who advance through the program can get eight certifications showing their knowledge of industrial electricity, mechanical components, fluid power and programmable logic controllers. When they finish, they will receive a certificate from the U.S. Department of Labor recognizing them as an electromechanical technician. The in-person, classroom-learning portion of the program is expected to run for 12 weeks. The apprenticeship aspect comprises 2,000 work hours.

“By working alongside Amazon and The Wonderful Company, we’re ensuring students gain the skills needed to thrive in today’s workforce,” Rozanne Hernandez, BC’s dean of career technical education, said in the news release.

Governor Newsom today in Stanislaus County — previews 2025-2026 state budget and receives California Jobs First Plan for North San Joaquin Valley, including Ag contributions

What you need to know: Governor Newsom continued his statewide California Jobs First tour today to outline a first-of-its-kind, bottom-up economic vision for California’s future, receiving the regional plan from local leaders in the North San Joaquin Valley. The Governor also previewed toplines of this year’s state budget — a balanced spending plan that makes government more efficient, increases accountability, and improves the safety, health, and well-being of Californians.

Stanislaus County, California – Governor Gavin Newsom, as part of his ongoing statewide California Jobs First tour, today received the North San Joaquin Valley’s regional economic plan from community leaders representing San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Merced counties. The plan is one of 13 regional plans that will make up the upcoming California Jobs First Economic Blueprint.

Governor Newsom also previewed his 2025-26 state budget proposal by outlining the state’s continued plans to support robust economic growth, high-paying jobs and career development, and strong accountability measures to address housing, homelessness, and mental health.

“California is not only dominating but paving the way for the future of jobs and the American economy, with local homegrown economic plans for every region of our state. With a balanced budget and key investments maintained for the upcoming fiscal year, we are well-positioned to continue the forward momentum we have created. California remains the standard bearer for our nation, and we’re looking forward to another strong year ahead,” said Governor Newsom.

The California Jobs First Economic Blueprint will guide the state’s investments in key sectors to drive sustainable economic growth, innovation, and access to good-paying jobs over the next decade. The complete Economic Blueprint will be released in the coming weeks, along with a grant solicitation for a portion of the remaining $120 million over three years in competitive funding to support “ready-to-go” projects aligned to the state’s strategic sectors, ensuring that every region across California continues to play a critical role in the sustainable growth of the world’s fifth largest economy.

Made up of ten key industry sectors, this framework will help streamline the state’s economic, business, and workforce development programs to create more jobs faster.  The state’s thirteen economic regions engaged more than 10,000 local residents and experts who collectively identified these sectors as key to driving local economies into the future.

Today, leaders in the North San Joaquin Valley region presented their regional plan to the Governor and provided information about their key economic sectors.

  • Advanced Manufacturing, including building materials, mobility technologies, and measurement and testing products
  • Clean Economy, particularly solar energy, green hydrogen, biofuels, and carbon management, an emerging sector with enormous growth potential, driven by the increasing demand for carbon capture and sequestration technologies.
  • Bioeconomy, a forward-looking sector that is transforming waste streams from biomass (such as agricultural and forestry residues, municipal solid waste, and food processing byproducts) into valuable bioproducts such as fuels, plastics, chemicals, solvents, fabrics, polymers, food additives, and alternative proteins.

A balanced budget and a more efficient government

Continuing to deliver key investments and responsible fiscal management, Governor Newsom previewed the toplines of his 2025-26 state budget proposal — a balanced budget that emphasizes fiscal stability and lean and efficient government. The full budget release, accompanied by a briefing led by the Department of Finance, is scheduled for Friday, January 10, 2025.

The Governor’s $322.2 billion proposal includes $228.9 billion in general fund spending. The proposed budget is fully balanced with no deficit and projects $16.5 billion in additional revenue above the 2024 Budget Act thanks to a stronger economy, stock market, and cash receipts. It includes savings from the elimination of 6,500 government positions, resulting in $1.2 billion in savings over two years, alongside operational efficiencies like reduced travel budgets, printing costs, and IT modernizations that further reduce costs by $3.5 billion.

While introducing no cuts to core programs, the proposal maintains transformative initiatives that include the full implementation of Universal Transitional Kindergarten (TK), expanded after-school and summer programs, and Universal School Meals.

Investments focus on education, economic growth, public safety, and accountability. The full Governor’s budget proposal will be released on Friday, January 10, 2025.
