Highlands Overview
Highlands of Tennessee is a region that was born when Overton, Putnam and White Counties developed a strategic plan to accelerate economic and community development in their respective communities. The plan, Highlands Initiative, is administered by the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce, which is guided by a tri-county Highlands Initiative Steering Committee. The plan has raised $2-plus million from private and public sectors. Highlands of Tennessee speaks literally of the region's mountains and figuratively of the higher economic level toward which its citizens climb. Other neighboring counties have a standing invitation to join the Highlands.
Highlands of Tennessee, a commissioned song that has become the anthem of the three-county Highlands of Tennessee region, is available at the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber. To order, call or email the Cookeville-Putnam County Chamber of Commerce.
