Early return and reduction of burden from 1989

Last Updated March 19, 2024

Return of Yokohama Refrigerated Warehouse and Kanagawa Milk Plant

Yokohama Refrigerated Warehouse
Yokohama refrigerated warehouse was located in Minato Mirai 21 Shinko district.

In 1989, when the Yokohama Expo was held to commemorate the 130th anniversary of the opening of the municipal administration, the conditions for returning the Kanagawa Milk Plant and the Yokohama Refrigerated Warehouse, which had hindered the Minato Mirai 21 business, were shown, and both facilities were later returned by providing an alternative warehouse to Yokohama North Dock.


Kanagawa Milk Plant
Kanagawa Milk Plant in front of Kanagawa Shinmachi Station. On the site, park maintenance and other activities were promoted.

In Negishi residential areas, the impact of the September 11 terrorist attacks in the United States caused severe restrictions on traffic within facilities and citizen use, resulting in an increase in burden on local residents.

Regarding the construction of houses in the Ikego residential area and the Navy auxiliary facilities in Yokohama city area, agreement was reached in October 2004, and the basic layout plan was drafted in August 2006, and the basic concept was presented by the government in June 2007. In response to this, the city requested consideration for the natural environment and the implementation of surrounding environmental measures.
In September 2010, discussions were held on the reexamination of the number of housing units, etc., based on the fact that more than five years have passed since the agreement in 2004, the relocation of the Negishi residential area.
