Theobald says.“They’re even in talks to host a major car show, which would be another exciting draw for visitors.” Union City is also known for outdoor activities.“We have Final Flight Outfitters, the largest gun dealer in Tennessee, which attracts hunters from all over the country,” McTurner adds. And just outside town, Real Foot Lake is a world-renowned destination for duck hunting and fishing. THE NEXT CHAPTER Looking ahead, Union City’s leaders have ambitious plans that build upon the city’s momentum and strong foundation. “We’re exploring the addition of another elevated water tank to improve water pressure,” McTurner says.“This will not only enhance water access for current residents but also ensure that as we grow, our infrastructure can support new businesses and housing developments. We also aim to continue expanding our industrial park to attract new businesses and create high-quality jobs, reinforcing our role as a regional economic hub.” For downtown, Graves envisions more community engagement projects that will enhance both the aesthetics and spirit of the area. “I’d love to see more public art, such as mural projects where the community can participate,” she says.“When people feel a sense of ownership and pride in their town, it strengthens our local economy and community bonds. We’re also working on expanding our downtown dining options to attract a fine-dining restaurant that will elevate the city’s culinary scene and provide an upscale experience for locals and visitors. Theobald sees great potential in Union City’s continued economic growth, noting that the city’s strategic investments in infrastructure and business development are positioning it for long-term success. “We’re positioning ourselves as a regional hub for industry, healthcare, and retail. With our growing infrastructure, strong business community, and quality of life, Union City is on the rise.” 9 CIVIL AND MUNICIPAL VOLUME 06, ISSUE 04 UNION CITY, TN
