Aerotropolis Atlanta Podcast

This week on the AERO ATL Podcast we showcase exciting opportunities in Union City. Both Kalanos Johnson - Senior Planner of Union City and Ellis Still – Community Development Director of Union City offer a wealth of great information about the area. Union City is a great city to do business as it is zoned for a town center mixed use zoning designation. It is home to Atlanta Metro Studios which has entered into an opportunity with Netflix as well as high-end car dealerships such as BMW, Lexus, Infiniti, Mercedes, a new Audi dealership and a future Land Rover/Jaguar. Union City is truly looking to have a live.work.play feel for current and future business owners as well as residents of this area.
