COVINGTON, KY — The Life Learning Center (“LLC”), Covington Business Council (“CBC”), and City of Covington (“City”) have partnered to launch the “Covington Clean and Safe Initiative,” a new community pilot program created to enhance the cleanliness and safety of Covington’s downtown streetscapes, public spaces, and entertainment districts while strengthening workforce development.
This initiative officially started on March 30, 2026. In addition to cleaning and beautifying City streets and sidewalks, the initiative creates stable bridge employment for participants enrolled in Life Learning Center’s 12-week “Foundations for a Better Life” program, which provides hands-on work experience and professional development skills training. Some of the LLC participants also will serve as city ambassadors, patrolling downtown areas on foot while managing and delivering services that support residents, visitors, and local businesses.
“Covington is a city that believes in opportunity and in taking pride in our shared spaces” Covington Mayor Ron Washington said. “The Covington Clean and Safe Initiative brings those values together in a powerful way. Through our partnership with the Life Learning Center and the Covington Business Council, we’re not only investing in cleaner streets and more welcoming public spaces, we’re also investing in people. This initiative helps individuals build brighter futures while strengthening the heart of our city.”…
