Proud of our community!

At Heritage Days, the Mount Vernon-Lisbon Community Development Group (CDG) had the honor of recognizing individuals and businesses who exemplify the best of our community. These are the people who give their time and energy because they care deeply about making our towns better places to live, work, and play.

This year’s honorees represent that spirit in every way. We will be highlighting each of them this week. Please join us in celebrating the recipients of the 2026 CDG Awards, and read more about their impact here: https://visitmvl.com/honoring-our-2026-community-award-winners/

⏰1 more day!

Have questions? Give us a call & we'll walk you through it!

📢 Time-sensitive: July 10, 2026 deadline

Did you pay IRS penalties or interest between January 2020 and July 2023? You might be eligible for a refund thanks to a recent court decision (Kwong v. United States).

This could apply to penalties for late filing, late payment, or missed estimated tax payments - plus related interest.

To protect your right to a potential refund, a claim generally needs to be filed with the IRS by July 10, 2026. It's not a guarantee of money back, but it keeps your options open while the courts sort things out.

You can file electronically here: https://www.irs.gov/forms-pubs/filing-form-843-for-claims-citing-kwong-v-united-states #:~:text=At%20this%20time%2C%20only%20claims,States%20are%20being%20accepted%20electronically

Many people are surprised to learn that Supplemental Security Income (SSI) isn't the same as Social Security retirement benefits.

SSI is a federal program that provides monthly payments to people with disabilities and older adults who have limited income or resources.

If you know someone who may qualify, it's worth taking a few minutes to learn whether SSI may help. Understanding options can make a difference.
