Given all of the recent discussion about the future of the Main Street Covington program and its possible move under the Covington-Newton County Chamber of Commerce, Covington Mayor Ronnie Johnston has set up a town hall meeting at 5 p.m. Friday at The Center, 2104 Washington St., Covington.

"This is an open invitation for all to come to The Center to discuss the future of the downtown district and the Main Street program with the mayor," Main Street board Chair Serra Phillips said in a Wednesday email.
