February’s spotlight is on a category of projects we proudly call Mega Gyms—large-scale, multi-court athletic facilities designed not just for competition, but for community growth. These facilities don’t simply host games; they fuel local economies, drive tourism, and become year-round destinations for families, athletes, and events. Over the past several years, Covington has partnered with communities willing to think big—and build even bigger.
