This is CityScape
CityScape was founded in 1994 as a nonprofit organization to establish a partnership
between the public and private sectors dedicated
to
revitalizing
Downtown
Cookeville, with emphasis on community
livability, economic restructuring and historic preservation.
With your support, combined with that of
our city and county governments, that partnership is flourishing.
The revitalization efforts are well underway with grants provided by CityScape. So
far, these grants have funded the addition of
new sidewalks, new decorative lighting for
pedestrians, new downtown businesses taking pride in their appearances, new historic
signage, new economic opportunities, and a
new park and playground that all result in a
newfound pride in our wonderful community.
CityScape is asking you to join with us to
help us continue to offer economic restructuring and historic preservation.
With the help of our many donors and volunteers, CityScape has been awarded certification as a Main Street Community, which
is a tremendous accomplishment for our
city.

Dogwood Park’s Rose Garden entrance is the only way to get into the 21st annual Taste of the Town, which benefits CityScape, the city’s downtown vitalization program.
Dogwood Park to host Taste of the Town
By MEGAN TROTTER
HERALD-CITIZEN Staff
COOKEVILLE — In only the second
time ever since the event’s beginning in
1996, the Taste of the Town will not be
hosted at a home this year. Instead, this
21st annual event will be held at Dogwood
Park in the heart of Cookeville.
“We worked with CityScape to consider
locations in the downtown area,” Rick
Woods, Leisure Services director, said.
“CityScape is an important stimulator of
activity in the downtown area, so doing it
in the downtown area seemed very attractive.
“Dogwood Park is a meeting place in the
heart of downtown and is a green space
which is attractive and fits well with what
CityScape has done in the past with Taste
of the Town.”
The event will be focused around the
park’s performance pavilion, with entertainment and any announcements being
made from the stage area, and the food
being set up in front of the pavilion. Other
tents with seating will be in the surrounding area.
Guests will enter the event through the
park entrance off of Broad Street, between
the Cookeville History Museum and the
Cookeville Performing Arts Center.
“It will be a beautiful entryway, past the
rose garden and the gazebo,” Woods said,
“and there will be shuttles over by the designated parking area to that park entry.
“It will be a nice stroll back to the performance pavillion where the food and
seating will be.”

CityScape’s mission: Perserving historic downtown
CityScape strives to revitalize and preserve
the Historic Downtown Cookeville business
district. Here are a few of the current or
completed projects that CityScape has been
involved with.
Cream City Sign
CityScape provides economic support for
the Cream City sign. Through fundraisers
and the sale of the Cream City Christmas ornament, CityScape maintains all expenses
that relate to the daily operation of the sign.
It is one of two large neon signs still in operation in Tennessee and is a destination for
many visitors to Cookeville.
Events
CityScape is the proud sponsor of two annual events each year. Taste of the Town is
a “thank you” dinner for your gracious support. Fall FunFest is a fall event that takes
place on the square in Cookeville. It is for
all ages and includes music, crafts, the children’s “Stations of Imagination,” and is a
sanctioned member of the Kansas City
Cookoff. Recently, CityScape added an additional event called Rockin’ with the Reindeer in conjunction with the Christmas in
the Park celebration. Thousands of families
and children enjoyed a wonderful day in
Dogwood Park with live reindeer, Santa, a
craft center and fun activities.
Grant Program
Any business within CityScape’s footprint
is encouraged to apply for a grant when remodeling their business. Past grants have included CHAR Restaurant, the Masonic
Building, Jones Antiques, the Depot train
steps, 39 West Broad, the Ellie Lenhart
building on Cedar Street, the former location
of Bellenas Children’s Shop, the Arcade
Building, the Caney Fork Cycles bicycle
shop, Streamliner Creative Group, the former Kitchen and Bath Gallery on East
Spring Street, and J.D. Parks’ property at
301 East Spring Street. There are many
grant applications in process.
Lifetime Achievement Award
The Lifetime Achievement Award is a
prestigious award presented to individuals
who have been pioneers in the downtown
historic preservation and have set the standards for other business owners in our
downtown community. Past Lifetime
Achievement Award winners are Jim Shipley, J.D. Parks, Judy Duke and Bill Maffett.
Legacy Award
The Legacy Award is presented to a business that has done substantial renovations to
its existing building following the guidelines
of historic preservation. The Legacy Award
has been presented to Father Tom’s Pub,
Jones Antiques, Sports 1, CHAR Restaurant
and Seven Senses Food & Cheer.

Cookeville Nissan a
Founding Partner for 2016
CityScape is proud of its partnership with
Michael Rezi of Nissan of Cookeville. In
2015, Nissan of Cookeville became the
first Founding Partner of CityScape. “Their support and vision has been invaluable to us” Laura Wolf, executive director of CityScape, said. “As Cookeville
continues to grow, it’s imperative that
CityScape stays abreast of the image and
appearance of our downtown. Becoming a
member of CityScape has never been so
important.”
Downtown Cookeville and the WestSide
experience something that is unique to
many cities across the state. Cookeville
garners a 95% occupancy and this is the
only city beside Franklin that has such a vibrant atmosphere.

said Laura Wolf, executive director of

supportive members of the community

recognized for their outstanding achievements in implant, sedation, general, preventative or cosmetic dentistry.”
