Mount Vernon Proposes New Hybrid Position for Economic Development and Communication
Mount Vernon plans to create a hybrid position focused on economic development and communication, influenced by a meeting with Jason Duff from Small Nation. The role aims to address gaps in community development and enhance local marketing strategies. The city is also pursuing a $5 million federal grant for wastewater treatment upgrades and moving forward with a $29 million bond sale for a new police station. The administration will fund the new position by reallocating funds within the general budget.

Mount Vernon is proposing a new hybrid position to enhance economic development and communication. This idea stemmed from a meeting between Safety-Service Director Tanner Salyers and Jason Duff of Small Nation.
Salyers noted that communities like Mount Vernon require focused roles for economic and communication directors. The city is seeking a $5 million federal grant for wastewater treatment upgrades and has authorized a bond sale of up to $29 million for a new police station. Funding for the new position will be sourced from reallocated general fund money.
