Youth Conversation
On August 2nd 2024, the Mount Vernon Youth Bureau's talented youth took part in a unique visioning session for our Comprehensive Plan! Guided by Creative Urban Alchemy, they explored innovative ideas using artificial intelligence, showcasing a fresh perspective on our community's future. Some participants will continue their involvement by receiving training to conduct public surveys about the Comprehensive Plan. We're excited to see our youth play a vital role in shaping a vibrant and forward-thinking Mount Vernon!
