Downtown Park Tree Removal Underway This Week

The City of Mt. Vernon is removing the trees from the downtown park this week. After careful assessment, it has been determined that the current trees are unlikely to survive. To ensure the long-term beauty and health of the park, new trees will be planted in November.

This project will come at no additional cost to the city, and the replanting is scheduled to coincide with the best time for new tree growth.

We appreciate the community's understanding as we work to enhance and preserve our downtown park for future generations.
