In other words, we are entirely COVmitted to The Cov and making it an amazing, quirky, eccentric river city. When you engage with us, we roll out the proverbial carpet for you (you name the color because we are not a one-carpet-color suits all kind of place).
We’re open, friendly and really easy to get along with. Whether your business has 2 employees or 202 employees, you’ll get a personal touch from us. We want you to come to The Cov!
We’re the piston in the City’s engine. We drive the economic vitality of our community by creating and building real and sustainable wealth throughout our neighborhoods. We’re vigilant about preserving and improving Covington’s aesthetic and fostering a desirable (dare we say, “enviable?”) environment and experience for businesses, residents, and visitors. That’s our mission.
In January 2019, the City of Covington retained Garner Economics, LLC to help create a citywide economic development strategy. “From Opportunity to Action” is not sitting on a shelf in a cavernous basement collecting dust. It spurred us to action. The strategy details the asset development, marketing, and organizational changes that the City, its economic development department, and its partners had to implement. We pushed up our sleeves and got to work and we don’t plan to stop.
Much of the marrow for the City’s strategy lies in understanding Covington’s competitive advantages and disadvantages when compared to the region, the state, and the nation. There are communities with qualities and aspects that Covington aspires to emulate, replicate, or adapt and adopt. It’s good to have role models – and now we’re finding that it’s good to be a role model. Here’s the Competitive Realities Report for Covington. It’s good reading.
We recognize businesses that keep it real in The Cov with five Authenti-CITY awards each year during National Economic Development week. Check out the fun and quirky stories of the previous winners.
We play well with others.
