PUBLIC MEETING FOR FUTURE OF COVINGTON'S RIVERFRONT
The first week of December, the City of Covington will host a public input session regarding the riverfront. From the City's release:
The Ohio Riverfront is important to Covington's future development, and we have an opportunity to shape what it will look like! Our neighbor to the north, Cincinnati, is making significant improvements to its riverfront, for public use/public recreational space, as well as for private developments like The Majestic Show Boat, the Montgomery Inn & Boathouse and the under-construction Christian Moerlein Lager House. At this Community Input Session, we will share how other communities have improved their riverfronts, what Covington's riverfront currently looks like, and how possible improvements can be made along the Ohio Riverfront.
The meeting is set for December 5 at 6:00PM inside Commission Chambers at City Hall.
