Possible Embetterments

Embetterments can be built to raise income or to provide you with certain perks. You can build new embetterments, or buy ones currently in existence, although the frontier settlers are unlikely to be willing to sell their property without gentle 'encouragement.' Additionally, settlers will react poorly to new embetterments being built which challenge their own business, and will actively work to prevent competitors establishing themselves in their town.
