History

The Thomaston-Upson County Industrial Development Authority (TUCIDA) was created in 1964 by Georgia law and created for the purpose of expanding and developing industry in the City of Thomaston and Upson County and for improving the general welfare of said city and county.

The Authority shall consist of six (6) members, one of whom shall be the Chairman of the Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenue of Upson County, Georgia, who shall be a member by virtue of his office, one of whom shall be the Mayor of the City of Thomaston, Georgia, who shall be a member by virtue of this office, two (2) of whom shall be appointed by the Board of Commissioners of Roads and Revenue of Upson County Georgia, and two (2) of whom shall be appointed by the Mayor and Council of the City of Thomaston, Georgia.

The all volunteer board members meet on the fourth Monday of every month, at 4:00 pm, in the IDA Office Meeting Room, Suite 230, located in the City-County Government Complex Office Meeting Room.

 Members of the public, especially business owners and commercial property owners are encouraged to attend.

The TUCIDA works closely with state and local development organizations as well as with the area chamber of commerce. We are a charter member of the West Central Georgia Joint Development Authority and work in partnership with the Georgia Department of Economic Development.

The TUCIDA fulfills its mission primarily by providing taxable and tax-exempt bond financing opportunities under the auspices of the Development Authority and Policy Development Incentives.

Thomaston-Upson County Industrial Development Authority is the lead agency for industrial recruitment and business expansion in Upson County.

We have and continue to partner with key local and state agencies and organizations, which leverage our ability to propel our community forward.
