Special Meeting Tonight on Power Substation Sale
Voters of the Mt. Anthony Union School District meet at 8 p.m. in the Bennington Elementary School multipurpose room to decide selling about one acre of district land to Central Vermont Public Service Corp for a power substation serving the new high school. The $1,000 price includes a 150 foot pole line easement to the Roaring Branch, with potential benefits such as eliminating new power lines and possibly old poles on Park Street. The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers weighs a flood wall project and may gain justification if the substation proceeds. The site will be fenced and lit, kept clear and attractive, with Lyons Street residents seeking a turnabout. Special Meeting Page 10.
