The Maryland Food Center Authority originated
in 1967 as the Greater Baltimore Consolidated
Wholesale Food Market Authority (Chapter 145,
Acts of 1967). The Authority was formed to establish
and operate a consolidated food center within the
Greater Baltimore Region. In 1975, the Authority was
reorganized as the Maryland Wholesale Food Center
Authority (Chapter 729, Acts of 1975). The Author-
ity received its present name in 1979 (Chapter 482,
Acts of 1979).
The Authority is developing a 398-acre site for
the Maryland Wholesale Food Center. The Center
is located in Howard County near Jessup at the
intersection of U.S. Route 1 and Maryland Route
175. The Center now includes the Maryland
Wholesale Produce Market and the Maryland
Wholesale Seafood Market. With many different
types of food operations at one site, the Center
provides quality food products efficiently and inex-
pensively and employs over 3,100 people. As of
October 1993, approximately 3,611,190 square
feet of food warehousing space had been completed
or was under construction within the Center.
In 1989, the Authority acquired the Rock Hall
Seafood Processing Plant in Kent County. This water-
side plant is accessible to both Chesapeake Bay water-
men and land-based operations which depend upon
Bay natural resources, such as finfish and shellfish.
