What Do You Want Union County to Be?

“A clean, prosperous place where a child can be safe and people can be free and loved.”

 

Overwhelmingly, the responses to this question had to do with quality of life: a vibrant community where people want to live and raise a family, but also someplace people want to visit—which means more restaurants and retail. A place that is welcoming to all. A growing community that is successful and prosperous.
