In 2006 the Edgewood Civic Association participated in the COVE candidate forums in ward 5. The COVE group is comprised of the Bates Area, Bloomingdale, Edgewood, Eckington and Hanover civic associations. The COVE candidate forums are designed to give residents the opportunity and venue for assessing mayoral candidates’ positions on critical issues affecting their neighborhoods.  Edgewood Civic will be participating in the COVE forums again this year. The first forum will be held at McKinley Technology High school on Wednesday, July 28 6:30-8:30pm.

The final 2006 COVE report consist of answers from mayoral candidate Adrian Fenty during his one- on one interview.  Each candidate was asked the same questions during their interviews. The COVE report is a great primer to the COVE forums this year. ECA encourages all ward 5 residents to participate in the COVE forums.
