Geographical Location

 

At the intersection of two major interstate, I-57 and I-64, Mt. Vernon's location is a strong selling point for business as noted by Site Selection magazine when it named Mt. Vernon to it's Top 100 U.S. Small Towns List based upon most new building and expansion.  Downtown St. Louis is only 75 minutes away plus eight universities and colleges are within one hour.
