Congratulations to Dr. LaDena Bolton, our new Super District 7 Commissioner!

LaDena Bolton defeated Jacqueline Adams with 70% of the vote. Bolton replaces former Super District 7 Commissioner Lorraine Cochran Johnson, who won the DeKalb County CEO’s race. We look forward to working with Commissioner Bolton in making our district the most incredible place to open a business!

This past October, Autoglo became the authorized body shop for Stivers Subaru in Decatur adding a million dollars in gross sales annually to the Tucker area, providing an additional $40K in sales tax to the City of Tucker, which contributes more than $100K in additional payroll taxes. This arrangement has also allowed Autoglo to become a partner with Subaru North America as a certified Subaru collision repair facility, which will allow the company to bring in revenue from neighboring counties as well.

Along with Autoglo’s current partnership with Honda/Acura, this new collaboration allows the company to serve our district in a much greater way. Autoglo is also currently in negotiations with Audi/VW to join their certified network. As cars continue to advance, the need for qualified facilities is more important than ever to ensure a safe and reliable repair. Autoglo focuses on keeping up with the current technology, training and equipment and pioneering the future of the industry to serve the community better.

The Ohio-based cleaning solution manufacturer, ChemStation, has recently leased the 58,947 SF facility at 4720 Stone Drive from OnPace Partners.

Since 1977, ChemStation Manufacturing Centers has provided high-quality industrial cleaning chemicals using a unique system of delivery into refillable containers, bringing safety, sustainability and local service right to the customer’s door.

Stay tuned for more details on the facility’s opening.

Coffee with Commissioner is an opportunity to hear directly from the community, discuss challenges and work collaboratively to find solutions. District 1 Commissioner Robert Patrick looks forward to meaningful conversations and continuing to make a positive impact in DeKalb County.
