AP027.S1.D18
Description:
The project series documents a study for the expansion and conversion of a fish plant in Newfoundland from a seasonal in-shore plant to a year-round dragger operation. New housing and community facilities were also required to attract experienced and trained personnel to the area. A statistical model which balances primary and secondary industries was developed to estimate the ultimate size of the new town.
