Flagpoles in Covington

The urban core of Northern Kentucky, straight across the river from downtown Cincinnati: financial and back-office employment, a very large historic housing stock, and a riverfront being rebuilt around the former IRS campus site. We cover Covington and the Kenton County area, including MainStrasse Village, the Riverside Drive and Mutter Gottes districts, the Cathedral Basilica of the Assumption, the Roebling Suspension Bridge and the Ohio riverfront, Devou Park, Madison Avenue and the Licking River side of town.

Wind here. Covington sits in a dense urban and river-exposed area, which works out to roughly 115 mph under the code your town uses. That figure decides how wide and how thick the pole has to be, so we check it against your address before we quote. Covington runs a real review process and it is worth knowing about before anything is ordered. The city has seven historic preservation overlay zones, most of them in the older northern half where the Victorian housing stock is, and exterior work inside one needs a certificate of appropriateness from the Board of Architectural Review and Development before it starts. The permit is not a city counter job either: building, zoning and subdivision permits for Kenton County go through Planning and Development Services over on Simon Kenton Way. The other Covington condition is water on two sides. The city sits at the confluence, the Ohio along one edge and the Licking along the other, and a site on either bank has the whole river channel upwind of it, which is open exposure in the middle of a dense town.

Most of the people who call us from Covington are offices and financial back-office buildings, hotels and restaurants downtown, churches and parish schools, city and county facilities, condominium and community associations and riverfront commercial property.
