New Member

Welcome to the Covington Business Council!

Thank you for joining our growing organization. We have increased membership from 130 to 570 in the last 10 years and it is because of the continuous support of our members and our community.

As our membership has grown so has our investment back into the community. Below are a few of the initiatives that the CBC, with help from the Haile Foundation, are involved in:

  • We installed over 80 flower pots along Madison Ave, and expanded the project into Mainstrasse last year.

  • We maintain the flowers with a spring mix, fall mix and a winter mix.

  • We commissioned an art mural project along RiverCenter Boulevard at the Sanitation District Pump Station to improve the public right way. The station helps in maintaining safe river levels during heavy rains. We have received many favorable remarks about how much better that thoroughfare looks while drawing attention to an important role the station plays.

  • We assisted with a wayfinding program that is aimed at connecting the 3 Covington business neighborhoods and encouraging patrons to frequent these locations. Using banners, signs and a website we plan to direct people to neighboring businesses.

We also host over 100 events per year which offer a great chance to network and get your business in the community. Below are some of the events that we host.

  • Monthly Luncheons- Typically held on the 3rd Thursday of the month. These regularly draw over 150+ attendees including elected officials and other prominent business professionals.

  • Hard Hat Tours- These offer members a behind the scenes tour of businesses that are in the building process.

  • Monthly Socials- Typically held the 3rd or 4th week of the month at various member establishments. These are open to anyone and there is no cost to attend, just what you drink.

  • Nonprofit Lunch n Learns- Held Quarterly and free to attend.

  • Business Insight Series- Hosted quarterly focusing on topics relevant to our members.

  • Quarterly Advocacy Forums- Held quarterly these forums focus on Advocacy topics in our community.

Check our website, read our newsletter and follow us on Facebook for all of the latest CBC news, information and to register for events.

We look forward to getting to know you and your business better this year. We are here to help you so please use us as resource. The more you get involved, the more you will get out of your membership.

Thank you again for your continued support of the CBC.

Frequently Asked Questions

Covington buildings are under construction and we have the inside look! Come to a Hard Hat Tour to get a behind-the-scenes look at businesses that have built a new building or renovated an old building. This is a great networking opportunity and a great chance to see what our fellow members are doing!

Immediately following the Hard Hat Tour is the After Hours event. This is typically within walking distance to the Hard Hat Tour and is a time to network and meet new people while giving our bars and restaurants some business.
Feel free to come just for the Hard Hat or just for the After Hours, just COME!

No. While we work closely with the city, we are a separate entity. We are a non-profit and rely on our members and sponsors to help us grow.
