Zoning and Water Issues in Bennington Charter Vote
The seventh article outlines how zoning ordinances from three villages will be treated under a unified Bennington town charter. Voters will decide on April 26 whether to consolidate. villages rejecting consolidation retain local control while consolidated villages keep existing ordinances with administration shifted to town. A town zoning administrator and board would oversee the combined zoning framework, including the town billboard ordinance. Chapter 7 covers a town water system subject to deeds of gift and court clarifications. Chapter 8 requires public hearings before ordinances pass, with notices at least seven days prior.
