As construction begins on major bridge improvements in and around Covington, the City is proud to launch Bridging the Gap: Small Business Specials, a community-driven effort to support the restaurants, bars, and retailers that make our city vibrant.
The goal of this program is simple: keep customers coming through the doors of Covington's small businesses during bridge construction by highlighting special offers, deals, and discounts available for residents, commuters, and visitors alike. These specials make it easier to keep supporting local.
Below is a roundup of participating businesses and their current promotions. Businesses are listed alphabetically within each category for easy reference.
