Mount Vernon Insider: City of Mount Vernon: Graduates from the Police Academy.

 


We want to congratulate not only the Mount Vernon Police Officers who graduated from the Academy Friday, but want to congratulate all who did.

Mount Vernon Insider: City of Mount Vernon: Launch of Comprehensive Plan.

 


The City of Mount Vernon is excited to announce the launch of our comprehensive planning process! “Envision Mount Vernon” Reimagining Our Future Together”. Our Comprehensive Plan hasn’t been done since 1968, so having an updated plan is long overdo.

Some might ask what is a comprehensive plan?


A comprehensive plan seeks to create a long-term blueprint for the community, by the community. Through a series of neighborhood conversations citywide, we will reflect on Mount Vernon’s history, its strengths and challenges, and co-create priorities for housing, land use, economic development, transit, health, sustainability, and more.



We want all of you involved: residents whose families have been here for generations, immigrants, young people, elders, business owners, homeowners, tenants – all of you are integral to this process, and we will be developing a community engagement strategy that will allow us to connect with and hear from as many of you as possible. With our qualified leadership and staff along with our consultant Shachi Pandey/MUD Workshop, I am confident that this will be a success
