Tucker Community Improvement District Gets Started

Papers have been signed and the process is underway.

The official kick-off for the Tucker Community Improvement District (CID) got underway Wednesday, Feb. 27, at The Bank of North Georgia in Tucker as several prominent business owners signed the necessary papers to begin the process of establishing a CID.

“We have had three previous meetings with some of our largest commercial property owners and so far the response has been overwhelming to launch a CID in Tucker,” said Honey Van de Kreke, Vice President of Elrep Sales in Tucker and one of the first business owners to sign the consent forms. “This will give us the funding source needed to change our area into a thriving activity center that provides positive economic development and supports the lifelong community that is Tucker.”

Public Affairs Consultant Ann Rosenthal spoke at the meeting and said,"we firmly believe that a CID will give us the funding source needed to change our area into a thriving acitivity center. It costs the taxpayers nothing and is the best alternative to forming a city."
