There’s an incredible amount happening in Tucker Summit right now! Our infrastructure investments are moving forward, businesses are investing in the district and new businesses are opening their doors. It’s exactly the kind of activity we want to see as we work to keep Tucker Summit a strong place to do business.
Georgia Power is now in the construction phase of the North-South Royal Industrial Streetlight District project, and we’re getting closer to construction at Hugh Howell Road and Mountain Industrial Boulevard. These investments will help create safer, more efficient and better-connected corridors throughout the district.
We’re seeing plenty of business activity, too! Currey & Company recently purchased the property at 4470 Greer Circle, and Taqueria El Taco Naco has opened on Mountain Industrial Boulevard. There’s a lot to look forward to as we head into fall — keep reading to see what’s new and what’s ahead!

Hugh Howell Road at Mountain Industrial Boulevard
The Hugh Howell Road intersection improvement project continues moving toward construction. Utility coordination and relocation work has been underway in preparation for the project, which will add new turn lanes to improve safety, ease congestion and enhance traffic flow at one of the district’s busiest intersections.
Some minor utility relocations and adjustments have now been completed. Other utility work is still pending as easements are secured and contractors prepare to complete the remaining relocations.
Construction is currently scheduled to begin in late September and continue through 2027.
