Membership Information
Join Us!

The MVBA has a committed membership, which has been instrumental in supporting the many activities we work on. But it is important that our membership continues to grow so that we can further improve our community and make Mount Vernon one of the best neighborhoods to live, work and play in!

Anyone who resides, works or owns property in this neighborhood, or represents an institution/business located in Mount Vernon can become a member.

Here are some highlights of what the MVBA has accomplished:

1. Led the construction of the Mount Vernon Children's Park, the community's first family-oriented recreation area, and raised over $350,000 in one year for this effort

3. Represented our community in major mass transit planning sessions
   
4. Reviewed and approved hundreds of restoration projects
   
5. Filed hundreds of sanitation enforcement reports, resolved dozens of chronic illegal dumping sites, and pursued more than one hundred housing code violations
   
6. Successfully advocated for the development of an urban renewal plan that speaks for this community and its values, and respects both the importance of our historic architecture and its irreplaceable charm, while encouraging high quality development at appropriate heights for decades to come.

With your membership, we will continue to lead the way on many on-going and pressing needs, including: 

1. Resolving public safety problems
