During the March 24 Covington City Council meeting, the City Manager Regan Bolli announced the city will be putting up a new banner sign.

The preferred location for the banner is near the Applebee’s on SE 272nd Street.

Poles for the banner will be placed on either side of the street and the banners will hang above the road

“(The) hope is to have them in time for Covington Days,” he said. “But no promises yet on when they will arrive.”

The ideal use will be to hang banners announcing festivals, recreation activities and other city functions, Bolli said in an email.
