I want to wish all our Tucker Summit members, partners and neighbors a very happy new year. We’re excited to be getting started on what promises to be an incredible year for the district!

2026 is shaping up to be a milestone year for Tucker Summit CID, with two major safety and mobility projects taking place along Mountain Industrial Boulevard. These long-awaited improvements will strengthen our district’s most important corridor and deliver lasting benefits for businesses and visitors.

As construction moves forward, Tucker Summit CID will keep our members and businesses along Mountain Industrial Boulevard informed every step of the way. I encourage you to sign up for CID communications so you don’t miss important project updates, traffic impacts or milestone announcements. Also, follow us on our social media channels for real-time updates.

This year, we will continue to strengthen our strong partnership with the City of Tucker and work closely with Mayor Anne Lerner as we advance shared district priorities.

Be sure to read on for more details on upcoming projects, district news and this month’s business spotlight.

Congratulations to Anne Lerner on being sworn in on January 12 and officially beginning her term as mayor of the City of Tucker!

As a longtime leader and advocate for the Tucker community, Mayor Lerner brings a strong understanding of the issues that matter most to residents, businesses and property owners. Her focus on thoughtful growth, infrastructure investment and community engagement aligns closely with the work happening across the Tucker Summit district.

Tucker Summit CID will work closely with Mayor Lerner and the incredible City of Tucker team to support economic vitality, enhance safety and mobility, and ensure the district remains a great place to do business. We’re excited about what’s ahead and the opportunity to continue moving Tucker Summit forward together.

A major safety and mobility upgrade is moving ahead at the U.S. 78 and Mountain Industrial Boulevard interchange — one of the district’s busiest gateways. The project will realign exit ramps, add new turn lanes, install a concrete median and improve lighting throughout the interchange. These changes are expected to significantly improve safety and traffic flow for all vehicles, including freight.

This interchange is a critical access point for hundreds of businesses. Construction will bring temporary disruptions, but the long-term improvements will greatly enhance safety, visibility and access across the corridor.

Timeline: Construction bids are expected later this spring, with construction anticipated to begin during the second half of the year. Work will continue through 2027.

These improvements will affect traffic patterns throughout the district, and we know how important predictability is for your business. Tucker Summit CID will keep business and property owners regularly informed — from pre-construction updates to traffic impacts to milestone announcements. Be sure to stay tuned to the monthly newsletter and email alerts for the latest information as the project moves forward.

A major safety and congestion-relief project is moving ahead at the Hugh Howell Road and Mountain Industrial Boulevard intersection — a key connection point for businesses and commuters in the district. The project will add new turn lanes in multiple directions, helping traffic move more efficiently through the intersection and reducing backups during peak travel times.

Impact: This busy intersection serves a high volume of daily traffic. While construction will bring temporary impacts, the completed improvements will make it safer and easier to navigate.

Timeline: Construction is expected to begin within the next one to two months and will continue through the rest of this year and into 2027.

These upgrades will improve traffic flow throughout the area, and we understand how important reliability and access are for your operations. Tucker Summit CID will continue to share updates as the project progresses, including construction timing, traffic impacts and key milestones.

You may start to notice something new popping up around the district. Tucker Summit CID is installing updated signage throughout the area to better reflect the district’s identity and help create a more cohesive, welcoming look.

We’re sharing a few sneak peeks — but this is just the beginning. Be sure to check future newsletters for the completed rollout and keep an eye out as the new signage starts appearing around the district!

Image360 – Tucker, located at 2725 Mountain Industrial Boulevard, continues to make a big impact across the district with creative, high-quality signage and graphics. One of their recent projects includes a striking hallway transformation at the Silver Hill Administrative Complex for the DeKalb County School District.

Originally opened in 1969 as Smoke Rise Elementary School, the building now serves as a hub for district teams. Image360 – Tucker helped reimagine the space using a mix of digital printing, vinyl wraps and dimensional signage, including an extra-large DCSD logo made with 45 feet of vinyl, a 6-foot dimensional logo, acrylic lettering and brushed aluminum letters.

Projects like this highlight Image360 – Tucker’s creativity and attention to detail, transforming everyday spaces into polished, professional environments.
