Jack Moreland, president of Southbank Partners, will

Newport along with Kenton and Campbell counties for development of the
riverfront.

the federal government to promote the needs of their member cities.

Ludlow in applying for $1.6 million from the Ohio Kentucky Indiana Regional Council
of Governments (OKI) which will be used to build pedestrian bridges and walking
paths along Riverfront Commons.
Attendees will learn how their
efforts to date have impacted the region, as well as learn more about future
growth and development.
