Apex and Columbiana have been recognized as regional economic boom centers and are currently reviewing their development plans. Apex has grown significantly, increasing from 5,000 residents in 1990 to 85,000 today. The city is planning Veridea, a $7 billion master-planned community that will include 8,000 homes, a new community college, and retail space. Columbiana has also driven a powerful economic turnaround, achieving near 100% downtown business occupancy.
