Food Commercialization Center planned in Bridgeton
The Cumberland County Improvement Authority on Friday announced plans to bring a $9-million, 27,000-square-foot Food Commercialization Center to Bridgeton in the fourth quarter of 2017… The CCIA also plans to work closely with the Rutgers Food Innovation Center – located at 450 E. Broad St. in Bridgeton – on the project. Lou Cooperhouse, director of the Rutgers Food Innovation Center, offered a positive outlook for the new facility. “A number of our clients and our graduates at the Food Innovation Center routinely require between 2,000 to 3,000 square feet of space to meet their growing commercialization needs,” he said.”In addition, we have a number of domestic and international companies we work with that are looking immediately for this amount of space as they launch their business to serve the U.S.”
