Union City is one of the most influential sub-markets in the southern region of the Metro-Atlanta area. The City works diligently to enhance job growth and to promote business stability. Only 10 miles from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, the community is the perfect place for new and existing businesses. With an array of services and retail uses, our businesses continue to thrive. Our effort to maintain economic development is an important part of strengthening the communities by creating and retaining jobs. Some of Union City ‘s leading national firms include Newell Rubbermaid, General Electric, Costco, Caterpillar, Dendreon, and Kraft Foods.

The City has a strong planning strategy that supports economic vitality. Key to its success are the following programs and resources:

• Comprehensive Plan 2030
• Urban Redevelopment Plan 
• Tax Allocation District
• Opportunity Zone Designation 
• Foreign Trade Zone 
• 100% Freeport Tax Exemption
• Union City's 2012 Livable Centers Initiative Program
• Union City's Community Development Marketing Analysis 

These components, in conjunction with the recent acquisition of undeveloped land along South Fulton Parkway, work together to support a business friendly environment.
