Located next to Interstate 90, Mount Vernon is a progressive community with a small town feel. A great place to call home!
Please note: Utility Billing has increased by $6 per month, as per our special meeting in April 2023 (see minutes under the "Government" section above for details.) The increase is due to our previous contractor going out of business, transferring their contract to a new contractor. The increase reflects the new contractor's rates.
