Bennington Sees Mixed Economy as Growth Meets Losses
Bennington faces a gloomy employment picture with layoffs in major plants and shorter work weeks, yet the town reports a rising Grand List driven by large commercial ventures and new housing starts. Expect more development including Mammoth Mart Plaza, JARD plant expansion, nursing homes, and possible Green Acres housing while U S 7 and Beltline projects reduce property tax rolls. Improved roads and flood controls promise more shoppers and tourists, with Willow Park and hospital expansions visible amid the Roaring Branch levee work. A Banner photographer captures representative area changes.
