Abstract

Excerpts from the report: This study was undertaken in the spring of 1965 at the request of the city officials of Montgomery. It was conducted by the Agricultural Research Service of the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Alabama State Department of Agriculture and Industries in cooperation with Auburn University. The report outlines plans for new and improved wholesale food handling facilities to replace existing unsuitable, outdated, or inefficient buildings that may be displaced by long-range plans for civic improvement. In Montgomery, more than 30 percent of the food volume of independent wholesalers is distributed from locations within the central business district, an area for which preliminary planning for urban renewal is underway. The study had the following objectives: • To analyze the present wholesale food marketing facilities in Montgomery. • To estimate the major costs of handling food products, under present conditions, by these wholesalers. • To determine facilities and possible sites needed for efficient wholesale marketing of these products. • To estimate the cost of constructing new facilities. • To estimate potential savings or benefits that may accrue from any suggested improvements.
