Mt. Vernon marquee comes back to life

Cliff Williams / TPI The marque at the Mt. Vernon Theater is lite again. The Tallassee Redevelopment Authority worked with multiple groups to bring the red and green lights to life again.

There is a red and green cast in downtown Tallassee. It’s not from traffic lights or emergency vehicles. The Mt. Vernon neon marque is drawing people in again.

“It’s glowing for the first time in over four years,” Tallassee Redevelopment Authority’s Dr. Steve Burak said. “It’s an indication that things are happening in downtown Tallassee.”
