industrial zone

Factory-heavy area

An industrial zone is a designated area where manufacturing, warehousing, and other industrial activities are concentrated.

Zoning laws typically separate these areas from residential neighborhoods to buffer residents from noise, pollution, and heavy truck traffic.

The old industrial zone along the river is being redeveloped into lofts and galleries.
