Committee approves purchase of Tucker parcel for future fire‑station site

DeKalb County Board of Commissioners, Employee Relations & Public Safety Committee · August 18, 2026

Summary

The committee approved acquisition of approximately 1,200 sq. ft. at 4345 Cohen Road from the City of Tucker for $58,000 to support a planned fire station and trail head; funds for construction will be requested later.

Staff presented a purchase agreement with the City of Tucker for an approximately 1,200‑square‑foot portion of lot 214 at 4345 Cohen Road for $58,000 (item 20261247) to be used for a new fire station and associated trailhead. Commissioners said the property aligns with earlier intergovernmental discussions and approved the purchase by voice vote.

Staff clarified this item is a purchase (county will own the parcel); a separate agenda item earlier in the meeting covered a 50‑year lease with Brookhaven for a different station site. The committee approved the Tucker purchase and recommended staff return with operational details and funding for construction when ready.
