Commission approves freestanding informational sign with digital panel at Sunsphere
Summary
The commission approved a freestanding monolith sign with an electronic messaging center near the Sunsphere visitor center; Visit Knoxville said the sign will aid visitor interpretation and was part of the original visitor-center plan.
The Historic Zoning Commission approved a freestanding monolith sign at the Sunsphere (810 Clinch Ave) that includes a full‑color electronic messaging center. Staff described the sign as approximately 96 inches tall by 60 inches wide with a 48x36-inch digital panel; staff acknowledged vinyl and acrylic materials but noted the sign is freestanding and removable and recommended approval.
Kim Bumpus, president of Visit Knoxville, said the sign had been part of the welcome-center plan but was deferred earlier for budget reasons and that it would provide dynamic interpretation for visitors. A motion to approve the sign on staff recommendation carried on a voice vote.
