Mount Vernon City Council approved a project to install energy-efficient LED street lighting on 10th Street during its August 21, 2026 meeting. The project, detailed in the council agenda packet, includes 25 new fixtures along a 1. 2-mile stretch of the street.

The lighting upgrade aims to enhance pedestrian and vehicle safety while lowering annual energy expenses by an estimated $8,500. Council members cited the need for improved visibility in the downtown corridor as a key factor in their decision.

The project will begin construction in October 2026 and is expected to be completed by December 2026, with the contractor to be selected through a competitive bidding process.
