The City of Tucker's Economic Development Strategic Plan (EDSP) is a foundational document outlining a five-year economic vision and strategies. It leverages Tucker's assets, including a well-educated workforce, high-earning households, and diverse population, to achieve economic growth. The plan focuses on five initiatives: Economic Development Capacity Building, Business Retention and Attraction, Major Projects Accelerator, Visibility, Marketing and Branding, and Business and Developer Programming. Target industries include Professional Services, Manufacturing, and Healthcare. The plan aims to address the mismatch between Tucker jobs and resident employment, attract high-quality investment, and shape redevelopment according to a shared community vision. Key areas of focus include the Northlake (office), Lawrenceville Highway (opportunity corridor), Downtown (retail), and Mountain Industrial (industrial) areas. The plan emphasizes building strategic partnerships, improving infrastructure, and tailoring services to the needs of small- and medium-sized businesses.

The Tucker Tomorrow Strategic Transportation Master Plan focuses on improving transportation connections within the city. Key areas of focus include enhancing downtown Tucker through pedestrian improvements and beautification, increasing traffic capacity and flow outside the downtown core, prioritizing safety for all users, improving walking and biking infrastructure, and maintaining existing transportation infrastructure. The plan includes recommendations for roadway projects (widening, complete streets, intersection improvements), pedestrian facilities (sidewalk construction), bicycle facilities (bike lanes, shared lanes), and policy recommendations (Complete Streets policy, transit coordination, beautification, safety improvements, access management). The plan is tiered for implementation over a 20-year period (2019-2040), with cost estimates and funding scenarios provided. The plan aims to create a multimodal transportation system that connects places and people with safe and efficient travel options.
