ABOUT US >

Since 1987, a group of like-minded individuals who saw the historic beauty and promise of Covington banded together to form the organization. 

​

Like many urban cities across the country, Covington had experienced tough times in the latter part of the twentieth century.  Friends of Covington stepped forward to trumpet the city's virtues and help to rekindle its former vibrancy and luster.

​

Over the years, this organization has kept the faith and is thrilled to be part of a tremendous renaissance.
