MOUNT VERNON – If you find yourself saying it is tough to find a parking spot in downtown Mount Vernon you’ll want to check out a new resource just released by Main Street Mount Vernon. The organization, formally known as Heritage Centre Association, has created a parking map of the downtown using Google Maps. The color-coded map details where visitors can find free parking, also noting the time restraints on each parking section.
You can also find directions to a parking spot using Google Maps.
New parking lots are available now at the corner of Gay Street and Ohio Avenue as well as behind Johnny’s Mattress & Furniture Superstore on Gay Street. More than a hundred employees are about to begin working downtown at the new Knox Community Hospital office in the old Y-Not cycling location.
On the map Green indicates free 2-hour parking, Purple indicates free 4-hour parking, Yellow indicates free parking (garage), no time limit Blue indicates 3-hour parking, some spots reserved.
