The city of Covington will take $20,000 from its general fund in the 2015-16 fiscal year budget and help fund the Christmas lights on the Square this year. It is the third and final year of a contract the city began in partnership with the Chamber of Commerce. In the first year, Covington and Main Street split the total cost of $40,000, then in 2014, the Main Street program paid the entirety of the $40,000 Christmas light project.
