The association also maintains a professional office, holds monthly board meetings, research area and regional festivals, and events, and liaison with other cities all across the United States and the world, via the internet to bring a great variety of exciting things to see and do in our town.

Our Board of Directors is made up of downtown merchants and business owners. The Mount Vernon Downtown Association publishes a newsletter which is distributed to the entire downtown Mount Vernon and contributes to the monthly newsletter sent out by our Chamber of Commerce.

We work very hard to create a vibrant place to live, work, visit, and shop, while preserving our small town quality of life.
