Willow Park Project Reaches Construction in Bennington
In 1969 Bennington advances Willow Park with phase one costing 140000 dollars, of which 22000 is town share. Federal 70000 and state 35000 fund the project, Rotary Club contributes 10000, with 3000 in park funds. The site overlooks downtown near Mt. Anthony, planned to boost growth and public recreation. The Town Farm land is being preserved for open space as land use shifts to a small city.
