Abstract

Excerpts from the report: At the request of the mayor of Pittsburgh, representatives of the wholesale food trade, the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA), Allegheny County, and the city met to discuss the improvement of wholesale food marketing facilities. As a result of this meeting and other requests from industry groups, this study was undertaken with the assurance that a vigorous program of study and improvement would be launched by the appropriate authorities. The improvement of such facilities would be an integral part of broad redevelopment plans. The objectives of this study were: 1. To determine the volume of foods moving through wholesale facilities in the Pittsburgh area. 2. To estimate the costs of handling this food in existing conditions. 3. To determine the kinds and amounts of facilities needed for efficient distribution. 4. To estimate the total costs of construction and operation in improved wholesale facilities in several locations in the Pittsburgh area. 5. To outline the potential benefits of improved distribution facilities.
