Economy Graphics plant to be model for NE light industry
The former Economy Graphics mill in North Bennington could become a New England model for converting large obsolescent mills into incubators for small light- industry firms. The Bennington County Industrial Commission seeks a 750000 EDA grant, with 20 to 30 percent in match, to repair and subdivide 200000 square feet for autonomous spaces. Two small firms, Arken Industries and Vermont Woodstove Co., have already located in the space, with Vermont Woodstove planning full production by fall and more tenants eyed.
