A Georgia State University study released Saturday has determined the proposed city of Tucker could provide services without a tax hike for residents.

The study found the would-be city of 63,000 would generate about $16.6 million in revenue and need about $13.3 million to pay for parks, police and other services.

Those projections include revenue from the Northlake Mall area, which is hotly disputed the proposed cities of Briarcliff and Lakeside.

Those borders will need to be defined before state lawmakers move on proposals to allow votes on incorporation.
