Protecting Old Bennington Attractions
A village plan emphasizes environmental protection over individual buildings in Old Bennington. It outlines land use rules, traffic limits, and a series of projects to balance residential character with tourism. Key ideas include tree replacement on Monument Avenue, restoration of the Old Loomsac Inn, improved street lighting, walkways to the Battle Monument and Bennington Museum, careful parking redesigns, seasonal planting, and enhanced landscaping and signage to unify the village theme.
