1963 Proved a Boom Year for Construction In Bennington
Bennington reports a strong 1963 with 10 new housing starts since April 1, near parity with the prior year. A Moose Lodge on East Main Street and renovations at Max Oil and Johnson Oil sites signal broad growth, while Putnam Memorial Hospital expands with a cancer research lab and counseling service. Industrial and outside-town projects add to tax benefits, with new lodging, business expansions, and planned residential development spreading from Bennington Flats to Convent Avenue.
