Norwalk is embarking on a study to review the city’s industrial zones, their current uses, and the city’s future needs. By revisiting its industrial zoning, Norwalk hopes to use its remaining industrial parcels as key resources for creating job growth, and to further diversify its economy.
According to Norwalk’s Zoning Regulations, the “primary purpose of industrial zones is to provide areas which permit manufacturing and related uses”. They can also include warehouses, package distribution facilities and places that sell or store building materials. Heavy industrial uses are allowed by special permit.
