Day Care Center receives modest industry support
Bennington’s new Day Care Center has drawn solid local help from individuals and several groups but only two industries contribute so far. Union Carbide gave 100 dollars and Globe Union 50 dollars, while officials hope more firms will follow. The nonprofit Bennington Child Care Inc. operates the center at 114 Ben Mont Ave, with open house drawing parents and residents pleased with the facility yet funding gaps remain.
