Mount
Vernon, Missouri is a unique community. It possesses, within its
city boundaries, everything that is "small-town" America:
from public gatherings on the lawn of the historic courthouse to
friends and family gatherings at more than a half-dozen parks found
throughout the town. Mt. Vernon even offers a 50-cent city taxi
service.
The
people of Mt. Vernon have always rallied around the concept of "growing
together." At the same time they honor tradition, they are
also embracing the future.
Mt.
Vernon, being rich in history,
is also a growing city. Located on one of America's major east-west
corridors, Mt. Vernon continues to draw interest from industrial
and commercial prospects throughout the region and abroad. In addition,
community leaders work hard to keep the town's traditions intact.
Yet,
no matter how much Mt. Vernon grows in the future, it will always
honor it's past.
