industry
Spaces associated with direct production of material goods, including manufacturing, mining, and assembly.
Industrial facilities are spaces associated with the direct production of material goods. They include areas used for manufacturing, mining, and assembly of physical objects and commodities.
Manufacturing produces or assembles goods, while mining extracts inorganic or fossil-related resources from the earth. These are different production activities within the industrial group.
The productive activity distinguishes these spaces from premises used only to administer the producer's business. Selling finished goods directly to customers also has a separate retail purpose.
