Acter Industrial Park is a neighbourhood in Grand Theft Auto IV located in southern Alderney.
Description[]
Acter Industrial Park is the industrial core of Alderney. It occupies a peninsula bounded by the West River to the east and an unnamed canal to the north that separates it from Tudor. It contains several Globe Oil, RON, Terroil and Xero refineries; the trickles of fire emanating from their chimneys are an infamous sight from Plumbers Skyway, especially in the opening of The Lost and Damned. On the southwest corner of the peninsula is a nuclear power plant, abbreviated AIC and bearing the same type of reactor than the Hatch Nuclear Power Plant.
Influences[]
Acter Industrial Park is meant to represent the Industrial district of South Kearny, New Jersey, while its continuation of Acter in the north is meant to represent the residential areas of North Kearny, New Jersey. Instead of being included with the rest of Acter, it's believed to have been placed at the south of Alderney to keep up with the scenery of riding on the Plumbers Skyway, which was revamped to circle Alderney in the game. Due to Alderney being compressed into one borough, keeping the scenery might have been taken into consideration, because in reality, the Pulaski Skyway runs through Jersey City, South Kearny, and Newark, which is all separated by the Hackensack River and the Passaic River. The area also takes heavy influence from Linden, New Jersey particularly in relation to the presence of its large oil refinery (based on the Bayway Refinery) and its proximity to the area's correctional facility (based on the real life East Jersey State Prison).
