Tucker - a great place to do business.
 

The City of Tucker epitomizes the phrase "location, location, location". Situated along Interstate 285 and Highway 78, Tucker covers 20 square miles of area both inside and outside the Perimeter. With access to public transportation and less than a half-hour's drive from the world's busiest airport, Tucker is a convenient destination for business travelers and out-of-town executives.

Tucker is home to a variety of acclaimed shops and restaurants, award-winning public schools and one of the most diverse business climates in Georgia. While known for its charming, historic Main Street, Tucker boasts multiple industrial areas that are home to major international corporations like Siemens, Ricoh and PepsiCo. A premier "live, work, play" city, Tucker offers its workforce sundry housing options ranging from newly constructed single-family homes and townhomes to spacious one acre lots.

If you are looking for a diverse, welcoming community to locate your business, reach out to our Economic Development team at (678) 597-9040.
