The City of Covington is currently accepting applications for Historic Preservation & Planning Specialist to join our Economic Development team! One of Covington’s defining characteristics is a deep appreciation and celebration of its abundance of historically preserved properties, maintained by a community of residents and business owners. Covington was listed among the Top 50 places to Buy a Historic Home by This Old House and holds the second highest number of properties listed in the National Register of Historic places in Kentucky and most of these are within our historic residential neighborhoods.
