A vibrant community enriched and supported by strong businesses
The Mount Vernon Springfield Chamber of Commerce was created by combining the former Mount Vernon Lee Chamber and the Greater Springfield Chamber into a new regional chamber of commerce. Joining forces expands our reach, offers a stronger support network for businesses, a greater voice to our members and more opportunity for all.

Art and Creative Placemaking in Mount Vernon Plaza
Visitors to Mount Vernon Plaza may have noticed the murals of birds and paint life at the shopping center. We recently contracted with BCT Design Group to create the murals, which provide a unique photo background for guests to Mount Vernon Plaza and add to the community-focused environment of the property.

What is a Fix & Flip Loan from a Hard Money Lender?
Unlike conventional mortgages, hard money Fix and Flip loans are specifically structured to allow real estate investors to quickly purchase, renovate, and sell or refinance properties. For example, a conventional loan will take 45 to 60 days to close. A Hard Money Fix & Flip loan will take 10 to 25 days to close. Further, unlike bank loans, hard money Fix and Flip loans are underwritten to future value and normally include a renovation reserve. The renovation funds are disbursed to the Borrower over the course of the project. Once the renovations are complete, the loans are either paid off through the sale of the property or a refinance of the loan.
