Town Selectmen Revive Interest In Barney Brook Diversion
Bennington Selectmen revived a long dormant plan to divert Barney Brook away from Bennington Village to the Roaring Branch River. The move would reduce bridge maintenance and alter street layouts, with village officials seeking an extension of Gage Street to Main Street and possible metal conduit for the brook. No final commitment was made, and questions remained on funding, rights of way, and exact engineering.
