MODESTO -- Modesto is working with the Stanislaus Economic Development and Workforce Alliance to land two businesses that have the potential to employ more than 100 workers combined.

The news was part of a Monday update by the city's Community and Economic Development Department to the City Council's Economic Development Committee.

Department Director Brent Sinclair said he cannot provide more details on the two businesses but expects them to announce this year their intentions to come to the Modesto area.
