MOUNT VERNON – Downtown Mount Vernon is a special destination with rich history and culture that continues to progress and evolve. As the landscape of the Central Business District changes, the organization entrusted with maintaining a specific downtown environment and stimulating economic growth within the corridor is changing along with it.
With a larger sphere of influence and service area, a more robust lineup of programming and events, and a recommitment to providing services in five specific areas of focus, the brand has evolved. Main Street Mount Vernon is now Experience Mount Vernon.
Experience Mount Vernon is the event and marketing organization dedicated to the beautification, preservation and economic development in downtown Mount Vernon. It aims to energize and strengthen the Central Business District, while building an authentic experience for the community and guests of Mount Vernon.
Todd Taylor, incoming board chairman, said, “The new brand really tells community members and visitors who we are. We are committed to providing an experience in downtown Mount Vernon for all to enjoy.”
The Experience Mount Vernon brand was introduced Jan. 1 of this year with more details to follow through the month of January.
“The organization has received endless support from the community, our partners and the merchants over the past decade,” said Downtown manager Anthony McNeal. “Our board of directors would like to thank everyone who has contributed to the growth of the organization. We hope to see that support continue to build as we take this next step in the process of improving quality of life in the area.”
