Covington, KY
Center City Action Plan (2012)
Completed in the summer of 2012, the Covington
Center City Action Plan provides a marketresponsive
blueprint for the revitalization of Center
City Covington. The Action Plan was designed to
prepare Center City Covington with a vision and
tactics to mobilize, unify and leverage resources
from a variety of organizations that share an interest
in creating a more prosperous city.
P.U.M.A., supported by the design team of MKSK
Studios, the University of Cincinnati Niehoff Studio,
mt+a neighborhood revitalizations strategies, and
New York-based MJB retail consulting, led a
planning process in Covington to identify short and
mid-term development opportunities and investment
priorities for Center City. The Action Plan identified specific areas of Center City as immediate
investment priority areas and identified three primary activity centers to focus plan recommendations and
strategies: strong economy, inviting public realm and strong neighborhoods. In addition to laying out
geographic and programmatic investment priority areas, the plan outlines the blueprint for two potential
business improvement districts, as well as an organizational framework that unifies several likeminded
groups to implement plan recommendations.
