Abstract: Excerpts from the report: The study on which this report is based was begun after the city of New York committed itself to construct a new wholesale fresh fruit and vegetable distribution center at Hunts Point in the Bronx. At the same time, the old Washington Street wholesale fresh fruit and vegetable marketing area was scheduled for redevelopment under urban renewal. In connection with this redevelopment, it was thought desirable to have plans developed for the butter, margarine, egg, and cheese dealers, for possible use if the redevelopment area were expanded. This study was designed to — 1. Analyze and evaluate the wholesale marketing situation for butter, margarine, egg, and cheese dealers in the Lower Manhattan area. 2. Estimate the major direct costs of handling these products under present conditions. 3. Suggest the kind and amount of facilities needed for efficient distribution. 4. Estimate costs of constructing and operating these facilities at possible locations in the New York City metropolitan area, and the rentals required at each location. 5. Outline potential benefits possible from construction of the suggested facilities.
