These objectives have been formulated to achieve a very high
level of quality in the development of the South Industrial Park,
while permitting this development to occur in an economically feasible
manner. The objectives recognize that this development exists in an

The objectives encourage the use of quality design, materials and
workmanship in order to protect public and private investments made
in the park.
