SOUTH BOSTON INDUSTRIAL FIRM SURVEY
Boston Redevelopment Authority and EDIC/Boston
The South Boston Industrial Firm Survey was undertaken by EDIC
and BRA staff as part of the research pursuant to the development
of the Fort Point Channel Interim Planning Overlay District
(IPOD) This research also included a land use study for the
.
area between the Fort Point and Reserved Channels and Bolton
Street, including the Boston Marine Industrial Park.
The industrial firm survey consisted of interviews with 96 of the
195 industrial firms in subareas A through G of the study area
(see attached map) The survey was designed to identify for
.
planners and policy makers the business needs and plans of these
firms and to address the stability of the firms in the face of
great changes that will take place in the area. The survey
included questions on employment, space needs, transportation,
location characteristics, and future business plans. Conclusions
are based on a preliminary analysis of the results of the survey.
This report groups 178 of the South Boston industrial firms into
eight categories: printing/publishing; apparel/textile
manufacturing; fish/food processing/distribution; trucking/
transport; wholesale trade/distribution; furniture/wood/paper
manufacturing; leather manufacturing; and metals manufacturing.
Gillette and the area's machinery manufacturing firms did not
participate in the survey, and are not included in this report.
In addition, miscellaneous manufacturing firms, which could not
be grouped by industry type, have not been included.
