The City of Union City works diligently to enhance job growth and to promote business stability. Only 10 miles from the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, Union City is a perfect place for new and existing businesses. Union City is one of the most influential sub-markets in the southern region of the Metro-Atlanta area. With an array of services and retail uses, businesses are continuing to thrive in the Union City Business Market. Union City‘s effort to maintain economic development is an important part of strengthening its communities by creating and retaining jobs.

In its efforts to continue promoting economic development, Union City recently obtained two
major financial tools. In September 2008, the Fulton
County Board of Commissioners approved the Union
City Tax Allocation District, which allows Union City
to finance certain redevelopment activities in a
“defined” distressed area. On February 24, 2009, the
Georgia Department of Community Affairs designated
a portion of Union City as an Opportunity Zone. The
Opportunity Zone Tax Credit Program allows Union
City to attract businesses by promoting job tax
credits up to $3,500.00 per job created. Both the
Union City Tax Allocation District and the Union City
Opportunity Zone will allow residents to experience
a wide range of expanded retail opportunities in the
near future. With Union City’s recent acquisition of
undeveloped land along South Fulton Parkway, it all
adds up to a great place to do business. The City of
Union City is continuing to place itself in progressive
directions for the future of Union City and its
residents. The City of Union City encourages you to
