Comments:

Most of the land in Pembroke Park is industrial and employment center. The Town is looking to further expand upon its commercial base. The Town offers various incentives to attract new businesses and monitors its revenue base to track the retention and addition of businesses. New commercial developments must incorporate ADA and pedestrian improvements, and must build walkways as part of their development projects.

As of 2016, the Town's walkway is nearly complete, due in part to this policy. The town's bikeway system is also relatively complete.
