INDUSTRY CASE STUDY:
COMMERCIAL DEVELOPMENT & FACILITIES

---

Industry Challenge

Commercial space are vital areas to any community that provide employment and economic opportunity through the delivery of retail service and the production goods, and serves as a foundational tax base.  Once developed, commercial areas require continual maintenance and improvement to ensure a safe, secure, and attractive space for customers to visit.  Facilities associated with the Commercial Facilities Sector operate on the principle of open public access, meaning that the general public can move freely throughout these facilities without the deterrent of highly visible security barriers. Regardless of the value commercial properties offer to a community, their success is dependent on adequate and regular planning, establishing and maintaining standard operating procedures, engaging community partners, and ensuring a safe and secure environment.
