- 14. 14‘M-CROWN’ Project Summary&Conclusion SWOT ANALYSIS Many land and business owners support the M-CROWN project objectives. A Significant number of small businesses, maintains economic diversity in the area. The businesses in the M1-1 zone provides many living-wage ‘Blue Collar’ jobs. Growing number of ‘light manufacture’ businesses. Many properties are vacant or underutilized. M1-1 zoning does not provide incentives for new development. This area development is ‘frozen’ (15% closed business, and many vacant buildings/lot are not offered for sale/rent). Strengths Weaknesses
