Join NAIOP for a Covington IRS Development Panel
September 25th, 2024
Seven years ago, the Internal Revenue Service dropped a bombshell announcement on Northern Kentucky and the entire region: It planned to close its sprawling tax return processing center in Covington. The IRS facility had been a steady provider of jobs in Northern Kentucky’s largest city since opening in 1967, and the closure would mean the loss of more than 1,800 positions—nearly 10 percent of Covington’s workforce.
Flash forward to today, and Covington officials have purchased the property, demolished the massive building, prepped the site for development, and begun marketing it to developers. Before they did all that, city leaders came up with a vision for what they want. It’s a rare opportunity to reimagine more than 20 acres in the urban core bordering the region’s signature natural landmark, the Ohio River. Covington leaders wanted to be deliberate in their decision-making, rather than leave the plans in the hands of a few private developers.
Come join NAIOP for this exclusive Panelist event with Covington Economic Developer, Tom West, and representatives from Drees Homes, Silverman & Co, CovCor and J.S. Held. You won’t want to miss this event and hear about one of the biggest economic development effort to hit the city, and it probably will be for generations to come.

Format – Panel Discussion with Tom West – Covington Economic Development, Bo Hubbard – JS Held, Josh Niederhelman – CovCor, Benjamin Taylor – Drees Homes, Ryan Silverman – Silverman & Co Development.
Moderator: Randy Schultz, KZF Design
