Mount Vernon Library Commons Groundbreaking
Groundbreaking for the country’s largest civic EV charging center is set for 10 a.m. Saturday, September 17th in Mount Vernon.
The Mount Vernon Library Commons project will feature a new library, 76 publicly accessible electric vehicle charging stations, a community center, commercial kitchen, and a large solar array; all housed in one of the state’s first public “passive house certified” facilities.
The low-carbon, energy-efficient project is the result of several years of focused planning by the City of Mount Vernon and fulfills several state and federal priorities for transportation infrastructure, clean energy, and economic development.
“Our intent is to serve our community by providing a visionary project that responsibly meets our needs for generations to come,” Mount Vernon Mayor Jill Boudreau said.
Mayor Boudreau has extended an open invitation for the groundbreaking ceremony (at 208 E. Kincaid St, Mount Vernon, WA) which will feature comments by Governor Inslee, Congresswoman Suzan DelBene, and state representatives from the 40th and 10th Districts.
