Covington gets $5.4M to transform riverfront


The city of Covington has received $5.4 million in federal money, most of which will pay for trails and other improvements to the riverfront.

The city will use $3.9 million of the federal Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality grant to turn the former Covington Landing along the Ohio River into a well-manicured park with green space and paved public commons and paths.

It will help Covington complete $10 million worth of improvements along the Ohio River as part of the Riverfront Commons project. Riverfront Commons will connect the Northern Kentucky river cities of Ludlow, Covington, Newport, Bellevue and Dayton with trails and green spaces.
