Abstract

Excerpts from the report: In New Bedford, the majority of the food handling facilities are located either in the path of Interstate Route 195 and the city connector, proposed route 140, both of which are programmed for early construction, or in an area presently under study for urban renewal and historic restoration. Most of the remaining firms are in areas for which renewal plans will be made in the future. In the fall of 1961, this study was undertaken at the request of the Mayor of New Bedford and in cooperation with the City Planning Department. The purpose of this report is to assist in planning wholesale food handling facilities to replace existing facilities which may be displaced by proposed highway construction, a historical restoration project, or future urban renewal project. This study is part of a broad program of marketing research to aid in reducing costs of marketing farm and food products. It has the following objectives: • To analyze the present food marketing situation and facilities in New Bedford. • To determine those facilities that would best suit present and future needs. • To estimate costs of facility construction, possible operating expenses, and self-liquidating potentials. • To estimate probable savings and other benefits from any suggested improvements.
