Purpose:
The City of Covington, Kentucky, with funding from the Haile and Durr Foundations, has assembled a Task Force to deliver a principled vision of the future of Covington's City Hall by establishing operating principles that enable Covington to actively strengthen its civic commons. The vision will conduct widespread engagement into the ways citizens of Covington are engaged in public life and how they connect to the administration of the City’s governmental functions. Based on the intelligence gathered, the Task Force will deliver a philosophical vision that will shape future funding, decision making, detailed needs assessments, site selection, and architectural design. This survey is one of the project team's engagement tactics.
