COVINGTON, Ky. – The Covington Neighborhood Collaborative (CNC), a community advocacy organization representing the interests of Covington’s 18 neighborhoods, announced the winners of the 2025 Covington Beautification Awards at a ceremony held September 18 at the Behringer-Crawford Museum in Devou Park. Event photos are online at www.covingtoncnc.org.
“The event was a success and provided a fun way to celebrate residents from all over the city who do everything they can to make their neighborhoods—and Covington as a whole—a more attractive place to live and do business,” said CNC Chair Bil Spicer.
Mayor Ron Washington attended and spoke about the importance of community pride and volunteerism. Together with Spicer, he presented each honoree with a Beautification Award banner and certificate.
This year’s awards recognized 20 residents and business owners for notable landscaping, façade improvements, and renovations across Covington’s neighborhoods.
