The Covington Academy of Heritage Trades was honored for contributing to historic trades craft for the second time in two weeks on Thursday, this time from the Kentucky Heritage Council. This follows a similar honor issued by the Cincinnati Preservation Association on May 22.
“We are so honored to see this program flourish and receive recognition locally and at the state level,” said Kaitlin Bryan, the City of Covington’s regulatory services manager and historic preservation specialist. “It’s giving us the validation that we are on the right track toward building a sustainable program.”
The Covington Academy of Heritage Trades teaches tradespeople how to work on historic buildings, which often require specialized knowledge of historical building techniques and systems often not readily available with conventional trades education.
