UPDATE: Downtown Cookeville Project Progress

Big things are happening in the heart of Cookeville! 🌳 The city just shared updates on an exciting new project: a 10-acre park centered around the historic Cookeville Train Depot. Expect more green spaces, a lively event plaza, and pedestrian-friendly walkways for everyone to enjoy.

This project isn’t just about enhancing the Westside’s beauty—it’s about creating places where memories are made and connections grow.
