End of an Era in Bennington Village Voters to Decide June 23

Bennington Village faces a pivotal vote on June 23 to abandon its village charter and merge with the town. Trustees oppose consolidation, warning of higher taxes and loss of services, while arguing the village’s debt is low and assets like the water department and hospital must be preserved.

Housing ordinance push and revised codes approved

Legal Aid attorney W Averell Brown drafted a tough tenant enforcement section as the Bennington Housing Authority found revised grant laws making codes unnecessary. The commission pushed on, sending the draft to Williams Witten Carter and Dollard, who suggested changes but left the final draft close to the original. The Housing Authority reserves 150 units and a hearing drew about 10 attendees. Trustees approved the codes to take effect July 1, with unification potentially altering the ordinance. Residents of Carrigan Lane may pursue action if landlords neglect minimum habitation standards.
