Abstract

Excerpts from the report Preface: This study was undertaken at the request of the city of Benton Harbor, Mich., and its Market Board. The primary objective was to determine whether the Benton Harbor Fruit Market should be remodeled on its present site or be relocated within or outside of the city. Secondary purposes were to ascertain the type and extent of facilities that should be planned for any new market, the estimated cost, operating expense, and revenue requirements of such a project, the means and method of financing it, and the savings and other benefits reasonably to be expected from realization of the proposal. Data used as the basis for necessary fact findings and conclusions were assembled by personal observation of the existing market and its operations, examination of market records and accounts, and discussion, interview, and correspondence with city and market officials, contractors, construction engineers, growers, buyers, and others in the area.
