MT. VERNON — There have been many developments in recent weeks regarding Park Plaza and the east side of Mt. Vernon. Now, the owner of Milano Railway Logistic Services in Mt. Vernon is speaking out about her plans to expand her business and bring jobs to the community.

Milano owner Mary Burgan says to expand, she needs more land. She says adding into the Park Plaza space will revitalize a depressed area of town.

Mt. Vernon is one of three cities in the U.S. where three national rail lines intersect in one community. Burgan says Mt. Vernon’s growth potential is strong because the other two locations, Chicago and Nashville, Tennessee, are both congested while Mt. Vernon has room to expand.
