Cookeville CityScape
 CityScape is a non-profit, tax-exempt organization governed by 15 to 25 member Board of Directors. CityScape was created to establish a partnership between public and private sectors dedicated to the revitalization of the Historic Downtown business district.
This community effort features a comprehensive strategy that includes four elements which parallel the National Main Street's Center approach with emphasis on historic preservation.
- Organization:
CityScape works to build partnerships with public and private sectors to develop the untapped potential of the Historic Downtown Cookeville/Putnam County area. We are a membership organization, and we rely on relationships with public officials and private individuals to work together to make Downtown Cookeville a great place to live, work and play.
- Promotion:
CityScape works to market Historic Downtown Cookeville as a dynamic and exciting place through special events and publicity campaigns. CityScape strives to communicate to the public the potential vitality of downtown, demonstrating that Downtown Cookeville has meaning to all citizens of Putnam County.
- Design:
CityScape works to enhance the visual image of downtown, paying special attention to signs, store-fronts, landscapes and displays. CityScape's projects strive to accentuate the beauty and character of historic and new structures that make our downtown unique: the Putnam County Courthouse, Criminal Justice Center, the Library, Cookeville City Hall, the Drama Center, the Depot and many others.
- Economic Development:
CityScape works to improve the economic appeal of downtown by strengthening its existing assets and diversifying its economic base. Economic development activities include helping to recruit business, encouraging the conversion of unused downtown space into housing, offices or retail establishments, and analyzing market trends.
