Tonight’s agenda full, and you can watch live

COVINGTON, Ky. - Per Kentucky Gov. Andy Beshear’s directive on public gatherings, you won’t be able to attend the Covington Board of Commissioners’ legislative meeting tonight in person.
 
However, you can watch the 6 p.m. meeting live to catch an array of important votes on:
  • Incentives for several major economic development projects that collectively represent over $23.4 million of investment and more than 500 new or retained jobs.
  • Five forgivable loans to help finance façade improvements for five small businesses and historic buildings.
  • Updates to the City’s investments policy.
  • A ban on conversion therapy - the “ineffective and unsafe” practice of trying to force a person to change their sexual orientation or gender identity - for minors.
  • And the first contract for the City’s first-ever $1.66 million Lead-Based Paint Hazard Reduction Program.
The governor’s directive was one of a series of steps taken statewide to slow the spread of the highly contagious coronavirus disease COVID-19 sweeping across the world.
 
“We’re dutifully following Gov. Beshear’s directives, but even so the business of local government continues, and this agenda demonstrates that fact,” Covington Mayor Joe Meyer said.
 
The Mayor ordered the meetings closed in an executive order last week, seen HERE.
