Community > Union Development Corporation

The Union Development Corporation is a 501(c)6, not-for-profit civic organization that was incorporated on Jan. 25, 1955 as a cooperative venture between property owners, business leaders, the City of Union, and the Union Area Chamber of Commerce.

The purpose of the UDC is "to engage in any activity for the promotion and advertising of the City of Union, Missouri, as a trade and industrial center; to solicit the location of industrial plants in or near the City of Union; to procure appropriate sites and participation in the financing thereof."

Governed by a volunteer board with 13 members, the UDC includes representatives from various disciplines such as banking, real estate, advertising, small business ownership, industrial sales, and public service.

Over the last 50 years, the UDC has been successfully expanding the manufacturing, light industrial, and trade sectors of Union. Some of their accomplishments include:

• Developed and nearing build-out of the 181-acre North Loop Industrial Park
• Promoted construction of Independence Drive between U.S. 50 and 47
• Developing and marketing the new 242-acre Union Corporate Center industrial park
• Promoting construction of the new Progress Parkway extension to U.S. 50

If your company is looking for affordable and easily developable industrial land close to I-44 in the heart of Franklin County, then the UDC is eager to work with you and your project.
