Covington's Comprehensive Plan is designed to assess existing conditions, look forward, and plan for the next 20 years from 2015-2035. In other words, it describes who we are, what we want, and how we plan to achieve it. As the City continues "Growing Towards Greatness," the Comprehensive Plan will guide the physical development of the City, ensure that change is consistent with the community's vision and principles, and coordinate the provision of public services and amenities to support new growth. 

Covington's Comprehensive Plan 2015-2035 includes eight separate but interrelated topic elements, as well as, a Plan Foundation chapter with framework goals that serve as a foundation for element specific goals and policies.  The framework goals are a bridge to the element-specific goals and policies of the Comprehensive Plan and cut across disciplines.
