Two monument signs were designed to make a positive first impression on Cookeville’s visitors
The City of Cookeville is proud to announce the completion of two gateway monument signs, strategically placed at South Willow Avenue and South Jefferson Avenue to welcome visitors entering the city from Interstate 40.
This project, a collaborative effort between the City of Cookeville and Tennessee Tech University, was undertaken to honor the university’s importance to the Cookeville community. The two monument signs were designed to make a positive first impression on Cookeville’s visitors and to serve as way finders for the university campus.
City officials also worked closely with the Tennessee Department of Transportation (TDOT) to ensure the project met all necessary regulations and received approval for its implementation.
The monument signs were designed by Kim Chamberlin and Bo Howard, architects with Upland Design Group, and constructed by the skilled workers of HD Homes, LLC.
“We are grateful for the support and collaboration of everyone involved in this project,” said James Mills, Cookeville City Manager. “These new gateways are important symbols of Cookeville’s welcoming spirit and our appreciation for Tennessee Tech University.”
Plans are also in place to add landscaping around the signs as the weather warms to further enhance the appeal of these new city landmarks.
