Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study of wholesale food marketing in the Baltimore Region was initiated at the request of Baltimore city officials, interested trade groups, and responsible civic agencies. The request was prompted by the activation of the Inner Harbor and City Hall Plaza Redevelopment project. Redevelopment plans necessitate the relocation of a major concentration of food wholesalers in the city. Recognizing the need for proper food distribution facilities for the entire Baltimore Region, responsible agencies of the local governments requested the U.S. Department of Agriculture to undertake a comprehensive study of the wholesale food handling facilities in the Baltimore Region. The study had the following objectives: To analyze the present wholesale food marketing situation in the Baltimore Region and to ascertain the adequacy of the present facilities in the light of present and future needs. To estimate the major measurable costs of handling food through these facilities. To determine the amount of facilities and land required to provide for the efficient wholesale marketing of these commodities, the cost of construction, probable operating expenses, and source of income in the proposed facilities. To outline the potential benefits that might be derived from the construction of modern wholesale food facilities.
