UNIQUELY UNION COUNTY HAS IT ALL
Strategically located 15 miles north of Knoxville, Union County is one of the fastest growing counties in Tennessee. Currently there are 3 industrial parks and acres of land with highway frontage ready for development for businesses looking to build or relocate. The current industrial base includes medical manufacturing, aggregates, limestone, concrete, crushed stone, injectable plastic moldings, and manufactured housing. Union County is part of the metropolitan statistical area of Knoxville. Our current workforce is comprised of persons living in Union, Grainger, Claiborne, Anderson and Knox counties. The significant growth of the county is directly linked to the growth of infrastructure, such as water and broadband; the development of upscale lake communities including Sunset Bay, Norris Shores and Waterside Condominiums, and the abundant natural beauty that make this area so unique and so attractive to people seeking a mild climate and a desirable quality of life. With a significant unmet demand for retail and services, a favorable business tax structure, and the availability of both a skilled and professional labor source, Union County is open for business!
