New Group Forms To Oppose 4 Lane Road In Vermont
Arlington leaders form U S 7 Associates Inc to oppose a four lane limited access highway through Southwestern Vermont and push widening and straightening of U S 7. The group plans counsel and engineers, and will seek to raise 499 795 in local taxes based on an estimated 734 995 total with state aid 235 200. The budget will be set at the first annual meeting July 12, but the tax rate remains tied to the Grand List estimate from Bennington's reappraisal, a key problem for taxpayers. The board considers two options to set the rate if Grand List data is unavailable.
