Thanks to all who participated! The Tucker Civic Association has partnered with the Atlanta Regional Commission to determine what the Tucker Community needs in order to become a place for people to live as they age. The first step in potential Tucker Lifelong Community is to survey our community. The ARC initiative has been successful around the Atlanta Metro area. And with your help,  it will be successful in Tucker too!

By taking this survey, you helped put Tucker on the map as a Life Long Community

Check back here in a month or two to find out what how Tucker is moving forward with this initiative.
