District VI - Light and Heavy Industrial.
Light industrial is industry that is usually less capital-intensive than heavy industry, and is more consumer-oriented than business-oriented (for example, most light industry products are produced for and users rather than as intermediates for use by other industries). Light industry facilities typically have less environmental impact that those associated with heavy industry, and zoning laws are more likely to permit light industry near residential areas. It is the production of small consumer goods. Some but not all example of light industry would be water company office, construction office, equipment yard with motor grader tractors, trailers, backhoe, track hoe, trucks, clay pit, earth extraction, storage of road material and the like.
