Tucker Summit CID is home to incredible businesses that are making a real difference — not just in our district, but across metro Atlanta! This month, we’re proud to highlight companies like Vulcan Safety Shoes, which is keeping workers safe through innovative outreach, and WinCup, which is leading the way in sustainable manufacturing with its groundbreaking biodegradable products.

We’re also focused on making sure our district is a safe and welcoming place to do business. From ongoing cleanup efforts that improve curb appeal and prevent illegal dumping, to the upcoming Mountain Industrial Boulevard interchange improvement project, we’re investing in the future of our community. These projects will improve safety, reduce congestion and keep our district moving forward.

I hope you’ll also join us for our Member Mixer on October 1 at Tucker Brewing Company. It’s a great opportunity to connect with fellow business and property owners, network with local leaders and enjoy a fun evening together.

As always, thank you to our business and property owners for your continued partnership and commitment to making Tucker Summit CID an incredible place to work and thrive!

Tucker Summit CID is dedicated to keeping the Mountain Industrial Boulevard Corridor and surrounding district areas free of trash, illegal signs, graffiti and more to ensure a welcoming environment. Along with regular landscaping maintenance, the CID actively addresses litter and illegal dumping while partnering with businesses and property owners to help prevent trespassing and dumping of illegal waste.

These ongoing efforts are central to TSCID’s mission to elevate property values and make the district an incredible place for organizations, corporations and entrepreneurs to do business.

This month, Southern Care Lawn and Landscape helped refresh key areas within the CID, keeping Tucker Summit looking its best for business and property owners.

On S. Royal Atlanta Drive, crews removed trash and debris from an illegal dumping site between buildings, improving both safety and appearance.

Along Mountain Industrial Boulevard, one of the district’s busiest roadways, they treated and removed weeds, pruned bushes and installed fresh pine straw to enhance curb appeal.

A recent news report revealed that residents in Tucker are waiting longer for emergency services, highlighting gaps in the current system and the urgent need for change.

To better understand these challenges, Tucker-Northlake CID initiated a public safety study, with TSCID and other local organizations joining as funding partners. The study explores how forming a city police department could improve response times, keep officers closer to businesses and neighborhoods, and provide local oversight for 911 services and policing. The study is now complete and available at protecttucker.org.

Your voice matters. Please take a few minutes to complete the public safety survey and share your experiences. Your feedback will help guide county and city leaders as we work to make Tucker one of the safest, most responsive communities in metro Atlanta.

Keeping workers safe starts from the ground up — and Vulcan Safety Shoes, TSCID member located on Hugh Howell Road, is leading the way.

Vulcan recently partnered with DeKalb Sanitation and Beautification to bring its mobile boot store directly to sanitation lots across the County, ensuring every team member has access to durable, protective footwear designed for the demands of long hours and tough working conditions.

As part of National Workers’ Health and Safety Month, this effort highlights the importance of proper footwear in preventing workplace injuries and promoting overall safety. By making safety gear more accessible, Vulcan Safety Shoes is helping to create a safer, healthier environment for workers while supporting our local business community.

We’re proud to have companies like Vulcan Safety Shoes in Tucker Summit CID!

TSCID recently toured WinCup, a valued member business with two locations in the district off Lewis Road. WinCup manufactures cups, cutlery and straws for dining establishments nationwide.

The tour was attended by representatives from the City of Tucker, Decide DeKalb, Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce and Southern Company, underscoring WinCup’s role as a key economic driver in the region. The company currently employs 200 people and could add more jobs if the plant expands production to include cup lids.

WinCup recently launched phade®, an innovative line of biodegradable products. Currently available as drinking straws, phade® items break down much faster than traditional plastics, providing a more sustainable option for consumers and businesses. The company plans to expand the line to include cutlery and is awaiting certification for these new products.

phade® straws are already available at Sam’s Club and will soon be on shelves at Walmart. Watch this short video to see how a phade® straw completely decomposes in about 58 days.

We’re proud to have innovative companies like WinCup right here in Tucker Summit CID, bringing sustainable solutions to the marketplace while supporting our local economy.
