Economic Development

By Jim Navarro

Candidate for Council Member; City of Union City

This information is provided by the candidate
A strong business and economic development within our city boundaries.
A strong business and economic development within our city boundaries. This will increase revenues to provide those needed social services. I propose that we streamline our City's permit system and offer "Express Permitting and Government Approvals" for business on a fee basis. Having a "One Stop Shop" for businesses seeking to locate in Union City will not only make the city an attractive place in which to operate, but, will also create greater efficiencies in City Hall. Another way to increase desirable economic activity in Union City is to have the city use it's resources wisely. In light of our prime location in the Silicon Valley, I propose that the City should undertake a current inventory of available land and buildings and phase out older light industrial and manufacturing zonings into uses that promote cleaner and safer activities such as high technology and mixed-use retail. We can then collaborate with local property owners and real estate professionals to effectively advertise and market these properties to new and expanding businesses.
