The City of Union
is experiencing the highest rate of growth of the county's cities
in single-family housing development. Since the early 1980's, the
thrust of the community and its leaders has been to tightly control
commercial development, attract upscale housing development, and
provide its citizens an environment that fosters a sense of
identity. As a result, the City of Union has grown from the
smallest into the second-largest city in Boone County in less than
twenty years, remaining remarkably free of the "Urban Sprawl" so
prevalent in the country today.
At
the dawn of the new millennium, the City of Union undertook the
task of reinventing itself for the future of its citizens. In a
joint effort involving the State of
Kentucky, Boone
County, Boone County Planning
Commission and its residents, the City of Union
developed a long-range Town
Plan that will set the growth of the city for future
generations. The result will be that the things making Union so
attractive to residents and developers will survive and
flourish.
