New eight-vendor food hall announced

A new food hall is likely on its way to Downtown Mount Vernon.

According to a press release from the Knox County Land Bank, the group has secured the initial funding required to bring a food hall to the former Mount Vernon News building, which is located at 18 E. Vine St.

Named Founders Food Hall, the new space will feature eight independent kitchens, and a full bar, and will act as a culinary incubator to local chefs while providing more dining options for the area.

Vendors for the space have not yet been announced. Construction is currently underway, and Founders Food Hall is slated to open in September.
