As operator of its own electric, gas, water, and sewer utility systems, Covington is able to keep costs reasonable for all and to participate directly in negotiations with new prospects and existing business enterprises that desire to locate or expand their operations in Covington or within the Covington utility system. 

Covington continually reviews and works to streamline planning, zoning, and permitting processes so as to create a “one stop shop” environment.  The City of Covington, Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce, and the Industrial Development Authority work hand-in-hand to make sure that the outcome of every new and expanding business transaction is a “win-win” situation for all involved parties. 

Covington is “Open for Business” and welcomes the opportunity to discuss your present or future location, relocation or expansion needs.
