Abstract: Excerpts from the report: This study of food marketing facilities in Dayton was made at the request of the South of Third Association, after the association had established the Midtown Mart urban renewal project. This project would displace fruit and vegetable firms and the farmers' market in the Midcity market area on South St. Clair Street. The Midcity market is in a blighted area that city officials plan to develop into a retail shopping plaza. Data in this report were obtained with the assistance of the South of Third Association, The City Plan Board, and the Dayton Area Chamber of Commerce, and by personal interviews, observations, and examination of records of various food handling firms. The study had the following objectives: • To determine the adequacy of the marketing facilities in Dayton for present and future needs. • To develop plans and designs for new facilities and consider sites that would be adequate to provide the most efficient means of distributing Dayton's food supplies. • To estimate costs of facility construction, possible operating expenses, and source of income in the pro- posed facilities. • To estimate probable savings and other benefits from any suggested improvements
