More than 67 companies in DeKalb County’s Northlake area have joined a self-taxing community improvement district to improve infrastructure and economic development.

With the addition of its new members, the year-old Tucker CID changed its name this week to the Tucker-Northlake CID, according to an announcement from the group this week.

The public-private partnership includes a total of more than 166 commercial property owners representing about $157 million in property value.
