Bennington Adopts Permanent Zoning After Brief Hearing
Bennington Selectmen approved a permanent zoning ordinance after a 55 minute hearing at Bennington Elementary School. The vote, led by Alexander B. R. Drysdale, followed a largely uneventful session with about 50 attendees. The measure, effective in 21 days unless a petition calls for a vote, covers areas not already zoned. Villages Bennington, North Bennington and Old Bennington have existing permanent regulations. Realtors and residents urged amendments, notably reducing the 40,000 square foot lot size in commercial zones when public water and sewer are available, to avoid hindering business along U.S. 7.
