A majority of projects to be completed in the CID were made possible when voters across DeKalb County overwhelmingly supported the additional penny sales tax for road and drainage improvements, multi-modal transportation initiatives, parks and recreation needs, as well as public safety upgrades. The City of Tucker is projected to receive $32 million over the six-year life of the Special-Purpose Local-Option Sales Tax (SPLOST).
