Why Not Covington The Brazil Comeback Inspires City Growth
In a talk with Uncle Dan Davis, trustee of the Central Hospital for the insane and local magnate, he recalls Covington’s revival. He cites a “Greater Brazil” effort that turned doubt into work, with a $190000 sale in seven days and 50 lots bought by a civic leader. The Knight Brinckerhoff Piano Co. hired 600, and housing expands as values rise. Covington may match Brazil and New Castle in progress.
