Home to a collection of food wholesalers, the Widett Circle area, between the South End and South Boston, had been primed as a potential site for Boston’s failed Olympics bid. Now, with the area around them undergoing rapid redevelopment, the wholesalers are moving toward putting their 19-acre property in play by bidding for a new home in South Boston.
