Monroe Union County Economic Development will market three areas of Union County to build jobs and investment.
Monroe and Union County economic development officials want to market three distinct areas of the county for new business and industry, according to a plan approved by the Union Board of County Commissioners.
?It?s really a three-layer cake,? says Chris Plat?, executive director of Monroe Union County Economic Development. ?It?s almost impossible to market Union County as a unit.?
Those three regions of the county will be branded under Gateway Union County, Monroe Aero and Grow Union County to take advantage of the county?s three strengths, Plat? says.
County commissioners approved the two-year economic-development plan last week.
During the next 48 months, Plat? and his staff will target precision manufacturing, logistics, agri-business and commercial development in an effort to build the county's job base. In addition, businesses already in those sectors will be highlighted for job retention.
This year, Plat? formed a joint city-county economic development agency, replacing the efforts of Union County Partnership for Progress. Both the city and county contribute to Monroe Union County Economic Development.
