industrial area

Manufacturing district hub

An industrial area is a zone designated for factories, warehouses, manufacturing plants, and similar commercial operations.

These districts are typically separated from residential neighborhoods due to noise, traffic, and pollution concerns.

The new distribution center will be built in the industrial area on the east side of town.
