Abstract:
On November 16, 1959, the Gerber baby foods company established its third production plant in the United States, on a 45-acre site off Hendersonville Road in Asheville, employing several hundred people. For many years, the facility was an economic driver and gave liberally to community causes. Unfortunately, the Asheville plant closed in 1997 for a variety of unseen reasons. It is still fondly recalled by Asheville residents for its many contributions.
