Tucker Seeks Input on Comprehensive Plan Update
April 4, 2023
Tucker has begun the process of updating the City’s Comprehensive Plan, Tucker Tomorrow. The months long process kicked off at the March 27 City Council meeting with the first of many public hearings. The Plan defines the vision for Tucker’s future by establishing goals and prioritizing steps for their completion.
The Comprehensive Plan Update process will include two community meetings and a community survey to gather input from residents. The first community meeting will be held alongside the Spring Fling at the Church Street Greenspace, 4316 Church Street, from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. on April 15. The second will be 6:30 p.m. May 4 in the City Hall Council Chambers, 1975 Lakeside Parkway, Suite 350B.
Community Development Director Courtney Smith is leading the project in collaboration with The Sizemore Group, “After 5 years, the city has grown and accomplished a lot, completing a majority of the tasks on our existing Community Work Program. We are excited to work with the Tucker Community to set the project list for the next five years so we can continue to work on achieving the goals that the community set in 2018.”
The five goals of the Tucker Tomorrow Comprehensive Plan are: enhance Downtown Tucker, improve transportation connections, preserve and improve neighborhoods, strengthen recreational and community resources, and bolster economic base.
