Mount Vernon's (WA) 20 Year Plan for Re-development and Flood Protection
Last year the city of Mount Vernon started a comprehensive redevelopment plan for its historic downtown area. The goal of that planning effort is to guide the business investment of public and private resources in the downtown area over a period of the next 20 years.
A key issue of this plan is to provide the City's downtown area with 100-year flood protection.
The threat of flooding poses a major barrier to investment in the downtown area and limits the City's efforts to create a vibrant, attractive, and safe waterfront district. In addition to flood protection, the project's goals include enhancing public access to the shoreline and river, promoting a mixed use redevelopment that will generate new jobs, providing an area for both housing and business development to occur in a manner that helps preserve the character of the downtown area.
