A bigger, brighter sign now serves as the marker for the industrial park on Highway 307 in Fulton, and as Eddie Crittendon, director of the Fulton Economic Development Partnership (EDP), said, hopefully it serves as a sign of good things to come.
The 20-foot-tall lit sign can be easily seen from the Purchase Parkway, which will eventually be part of I-69.
“We’re trying to market the whole Highway 307 area,” said Crittendon.
In addition to the new sign, which was designed by Tennessee Valley Authority and constructed by Coffey Construction Co. of Hickman, an improved entrance was constructed, making access to the park easier for trucks.
A TVA grant paid for half of the new sign, while the Fulton EDP matched the funding.
The city of Fulton contributed funding and in-kind service for the new entrance, and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet put up a bulk of the money for the road, as well.
“We’re trying to make the area more business friendly and attractive for visitors.”
