| Service Support Jobs
Within the service area for each Community Commerce Center there would be scores of
commercial enterprises providing services and goods for the population living within the service
zone. These commercial enterprises would consist of the typical retail and service businesses
found in and surrounding any neighborhood. Each of these surrounding businesses would employ
workers just as would be the case without the presence of a Community Commerce Center in the
area. However, implementation of the Community Commerce Center system would act to
promote the employment of local workers in each of the businesses within a Community
Commerce Center service area rather than the more traditional practice of creating additional
commuting through the employment of workers that would need to travel more than 3 to 5 miles
to reach their job. As the number of Community Commerce Centers expands, there would be
an increasing number of such commercial positions available for workers within 3 to 5 miles of
their residence. Also, the number of available local workers would expand because an increasing
number of local residents would consider employment that would be closer to their residence.
Thus, there would be an additional fuel savings generated as the number of workers in
neighborhood commercial businesses come from the local Community Commerce Center service
area.
