The project included running new fiber to the City Heights and Latonia Terrace housing complexes and setting up 124 Wi-Fi “hotspots” that create “zones of connectivity.” How To Register See this FLIER for instructions on how to register and connect to the free City of Covington network provided by Cincinnati Bell.

They’re concentrated in eight neighborhoods where the most Covington students live – Eastside, Helentown, Austinburg, Peaselburg, Levassor Park, Lewisburg, Latonia, and West Covington. Note, however, that Wi-Fi connectivity and the strength of the network signal depend upon a number of geographic and construction factors. Partners “Covington Connect” is a collaborative effort involving the City of Covington, Cincinnati Bell, the Housing Authority of Covington (HAC), Covington Independent Public Schools, Renaissance Covington, local computer firms Blair Technology Group and ReGadget, and Comp-U-Dopt, a Houston-based non-profit organization. Why? With the internet increasingly necessary to do everything from applying for a job to accessing health care to acquiring skills and training, Covington believes that all its families deserve access to education and economic opportunity.
