If It's Wednesday, It Must Must Be Market Condition's Wednesday!

The spotlight today is on the city of TUCKER, GA.

Another Market Condition's Wednesday report for another popular city location in the Atlanta metro area -- TUCKER.

Tucker is located in Dekalb County, Georgia approximately 15 miles northeast of downtown Atlanta. After the 2000 Census the city boasted a population of 26,532. Although central Tucker, also known as "Main Street Tucker" is laid out as a planned "railroad town," it has never been formally incorporated. Municipal services such as fire, police, water and schools are provided by Dekalb County. If incorporated, Tucker would be the second largest city in the county after Dunwoody. An exploratory committee formed by the Tucker Civic Association researched the possibilities of incorporating Tucker as a new city in 1996 and 1997. The community has maintained a distinctive identity, centered on its public high school, churches, and locally owned and operated businesses such as the Cofer Brothers building supply business, Matthews Cafeteria, Tucker Concrete Company and the Tucker Federal Savings and Loan Association recently merged with RBC Central. Tucker's zip code is 30084.

In 2005, the Atlanta Regional Commission issues Tucker a grant to develop a Livable Cities Initiative (LCI). The LCI study, published in December 2005, will look to reestablish Main Street in Tucker as a central point for the greater Tucker community. The study will help other modes of transportation to and around the commercial core.
