Corridor Planning and Information Overview Meeting
The Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Development Group (CDG) has announced a Corridor Planning and Information Overview meeting concerning the upcoming Highway 30 Bypass.
The purpose of the event is to share the final Corridor Bypass plan made by the City of Mount Vernon’s Steering Committee, working with Confluence, the planning consultants hired to create a land use development plan in the 1900-acre area surrounding the bypass. Steering Committee member and CDG Board member Rich Herrmann will be leading the discussion alongside City Administrator Chris Nosbisch, with representation from Confluence.
“The Steering Committee is proud of the work it has done and is anxious to share the results with the business community,” said Rich Herrmann. “We prepared this plan with business needs in mind and we are excited to hear feedback from the business community.”
The event will include food provided by Palisades Cafe as well as wine, beer and soda. All are welcome but if attending, individuals are asked to RSVP to Joe Jennison for food-planning purposes.
