City progresses on Tuckertown Green and new Fitzgerald Park facilities

The Tucker City Council meeting on March 24, 2025, highlighted several exciting developments aimed at enhancing community spaces and infrastructure. A key focus was the progress on Tuckertown Green, where most of the horizontal work is complete, and utilities are being placed underground. This project is set to create a vibrant central space for the city, featuring a stage, seating areas, restrooms, play spaces, and water features, with completion expected by September.

In addition to Tuckertown Green, the council discussed improvements at Fitzgerald Park, which will soon welcome three new fields, including two baseball fields, along with concession facilities, restrooms, and walking areas. A ribbon-cutting ceremony is scheduled for March 29, coinciding with the Spring Fling event, celebrating the contributions of the Tucker Football League with new street signage.

Another significant project is the enhancement of John's Homestead, which will include an accessible fishing pier, new parking, and additional amenities to make the area more accessible to the community. This project is part of a broader investment of nearly $5 million aimed at improving local resources and addressing deferred maintenance issues.

The meeting also touched on improvements at the intersection of Hugh Howell and Lower Stone, where upgrades to crosswalks and ADA ramps are expected to be completed by tax day. Furthermore, construction is set to begin next month on Lake Arndam, focusing on essential safety and maintenance upgrades.

These initiatives reflect the city council's commitment to improving public spaces and infrastructure, ultimately enhancing the quality of life for Tucker residents. As these projects progress, the community can look forward to more accessible and enjoyable recreational areas.
