<\/p>\n
The project will support tourism efforts by updating approximately 73 welcome, directional and site identification signs throughout the City.<\/p>\n
Visit Clarksville will add $146,000 to the $75,000 grant for total project cost of approximately $221,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe goal of the wayfinding project is to make the signs more cohesive and uniform, and to provide a much-needed upgrade of signs that have worn out,\u201d Clarksville Mayor Kim McMillan said.<\/p>\n
The current signs feature several different designs and slogans, ranging from identifying the community as \u201cTennessee\u2019s Top Spot\u201d to the \u201cGateway to the New South.\u201d Some of the signs need to be replaced because of damage or age while others can be updated by using a sleeve.<\/p>\n
The project will include choosing a single logo to be put on the signs, and selecting colors and overall appearance to bring unity and consistency to wayfinding signs throughout the City.<\/p>\n
\u201cBetter signage will help Clarksville connect travelers coming off Interstate 24 with its many attractions downtown and along the Cumberland River, so we are glad to provide these resources,\u201d said Kevin Triplett, Commissioner of Tourist Development. \u201cOverall, we have spent about $3.5 million over three rounds of this program to bring a bricks-and-mortar approach to tourism development across Tennessee.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
