Manufacturing is still the cornerstone of the local economy for Union County. It represents a significant portion of our workforce and is responsible for the significant increase in our citizens’ overall earnings over the last decades. Prospects from this area remain the primary targets for new investment.
Agri-business is a critical component of Union County’s economic fabric. It touches every corner of the county and continues to rank as one of the top-producing agricultural areas in NC and the entire United States. Union County is also blessed with a vast timber basket for processing and the largest equine population in the State.
Logistics allows for the capitalization of Union County’s location and abilities in moving materials, information, and processed goods to the world marketplace. Available capacities in all utilities, the 74 Expressway to I-485, and proximity to an international executive airport provide strong advantages over the Regional competition.
Commercial is based in the location of the county and its proximity to assets throughout the South, creating a demand for this non-traditional economic development activity. Union County is adjacent to I-485, providing many opportunities to develop office parks, entertainment areas and a stronger retail presence in the Region.
