Tallest building in East Tennessee gets new sign this weekend

The tallest building in East Tennessee should finally have a new sign this weekend.

Rough weather about six months ago damaged the previous signs on the top of the First Tennessee building in downtown Knoxville.

According to bank officials, weather permitting, a helicopter will lift four brand new 2,600 pound signs to the roof on Saturday.

The process should start close to 7 a.m. and take about three hours. Some streets around the skyscraper could be closed while the signs arrive.
