We were pleased to report Friday that two more industries will be coming Covington's Lochridge Industrial Park.

You can read the story on www.covnews.com.

We'd like to welcome these new businesses to Covington, and we'd also like to extend a hearty thanks to the Newton County Industrial Development Authority and the Chamber of Commerce for their continued work in increasing our county's industrial base.

We hope the city and county continue to grow the way they have been, and hope to see some of our other, under-developed industry sites like Stanton Springs fill up in the future.
