NEW BEDFORD — A company is considering a plan that would return the defunct Sunbeam Bread plant in the North End to its former baking glory.
New Bedford Baking Co. LLC, a corporation with ties to Connecticut Pie Inc., also known as Diana's Bakery, is eyeing the site for a possible $8 million rehabilitation project at the 229 Coffin Ave. property.
The plant has been defunct since its 2005 closure. At the time of its closure, the plant, which produced bread for generations, was 71 years old. When the business was shuttered, 183 people lost their jobs.
