Bennington Grand List Seen Sliding in 1971
Frank J. Hogan, chairman of Bennington Sisters, forecasts a 1971 Grand List not higher than last year. Residential construction is down with 22 new houses. two village homes are tax exempt for Mt Anthony School District. Existing properties were removed or reduced for Route 7 growth and local industry. New and renovated commercial properties are offset by losses from fire, demolitions, and planned projects. 400 mobile homes expected in 1971, overall tax picture unfavorable. Seniors urged to file exemptions and relief forms.
