How Is the Pandemic Affecting Location Decisions in the Food & Beverage Industry?

I've been fortunate to have some great conversations with economic developers over the past few weeks, with many questions on the pandemic's impact on site location decisions for the food and beverage Industry.

New facility locations that process products that heavily rely on predictable supply chain will no doubt consider how any new location could hedge this risk.
