Cookeville unveils on new gateway signage

Officials with the city of Cookville recently celebrated the unveiling 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.
