Daily News | A huge cold food warehouse is coming to Port Richmond
On Port Richmond’s western border, between a derelict railroad embankment and a brick health-care campus, lies an empty lot the size of more than five football fields.
FreezPak primarily deals in food retail, Huffman said, with customers using the company’s facilities as storage for last-mile distribution purposes. The FreezPak project is estimated to cost $93 million and will employ 60 or more people with salaries around $65,000 plus health-care and retirement benefits. BG Capital and FreezPak have negotiated with community groups and will provide preferential hiring for Port Richmond and Harrowgate residents.
The southern end of the lot opens on the heavily trafficked Allegheny Avenue, which includes several popular bus lines. The truck traffic associated with the business is expected to be concentrated on more sparsely used Westmoreland Street, which is already lined with warehouses.
