TSCID board member Rusty McKellar is the president of Gwinnett Industries, an owner/lessor/manager of industrial real estate and part of the Pattillo family of businesses. He has been with the Pattillo organization, the developer and builder of a large portion of the CID, since 1989. Gwinnett Industries, a Pattillo Company, owns, leases and manages several CID-based industrial properties.  

Rusty was instrumental in the CID’s creation by serving on an exploratory committee that met with business owners to discuss the concept, obtaining the seed funds from the Pattillo organization, and hiring and working with Emory Morsberger to form the CID in 2011.

With 30 years of experience in the district, Rusty is familiar with the needs of the area and can better evaluate potential solutions, including the need to work with other owners to enhance property values. Having been involved with the CID since its founding, Rusty has seen the organization more than double its membership and grow its budget to successfully complete even more district projects.

Rusty’s primary concerns for 2019 are continuing to improve the infrastructure within the CID, keeping the area secure and the district vital. To that end, the CID has commissioned a transportation study to better connect the area’s industrial parks to the interstates. Other projects include widening roads and improving intersections at high traffic interchanges. His time and commitment to the TSCID have been invaluable.

Rusty is married with three children and has also served on Friends of Disabled Adults and Children’s (FODAC) board since 2010.  In 2011, he chaired FODAC's capital campaign which successfully raised more than $1.6 million to renovate its facilities.

TSCID President Emory Morsberger, along with board vice chairman and NAI Brannen Goddard’s senior property manager Rebekah Coblentz, proudly honored Detective Eddie Perkins as Tucker Summit CID’s Officer of the Year at the Tucker Police Department’s holiday luncheon on December 19, 2018.

Last fall, Detective Perkins investigated a series of vehicle break-ins that occurred at the Macy’s Distribution Center on Sarr Parkway within the district.

Due to his tireless efforts and cooperation with the FBI and other agencies, Detective Perkins apprehended a number of individuals involved in crimes in the district and surrounding metro areas. They were all charged under the Georgia Criminal Street Gang Act and are currently in custody awaiting trial.

Thank you, Detective Perkins!
