Abstract: Excerpts from the report: Several food firms in Denver are located in an area scheduled for redevelopment and must relocate. Other firms in other sections of the city are operating in facilities that are outmoded. Food industry leaders together with various local and State government official requested the U.S. Department of Agriculture for help in making a study to plan new and improved wholesale food distribution facilities in Denver. The study began in 1967 and had the following objectives: • To determine the adequacy of present food marketing facilities in Metropolitan Denver. • To estimate the major costs of handling food products through existing facilities. • To develop plans for new facilities that would meet present and future needs of food firms. • To estimate costs of facility construction, probable operating expenses, and rental requirements. • To estimate probable savings and other benefits from adopting suggested improvements. This report presents the findings and recommendations from that study.
