Heavy Machinery Continues Cleanup of Mount Vernon DPW Yard

Part of Riverfront Transformation

DPW crews began moving thousands of yards of dirt and rock today, and began building new material bins, removing broken fences, and establishing a new perimeter as the work continues to transform the current DPW Yard.

Saturday’s actions are part an initiative bringing the city into compliance with EPA regulations and starting the revitalization of the 241 acres of waterfront property, which hold the promise for bike lanes running from the yard to Willson’s Woods Park, refurbished ball fields, and a boat launch.
