Notable quotes: “Over the years, the focus of city government has moved from residential development to supporting commercial development. Policies have been adjusted and so have the fees associated with commercial development—creative ways have been utilized to support new businesses that want to come to Ripon.” (Source: Manteca Bulletin)
