Airport expansion faces funding hurdles at Bennington airport
Local officials and Edward Knapp outlined a plan to extend the main east west runway at Bennington Municipal Airport from 2,350 to 3,400 feet. The project costs are pegged at 180000 with 45000 from Bennington voters and 45000 from the state plus 90000 federal share under current terms. The plan requires land acquisitions from Fairdale Farms Inc John S Throckmorton and F Ellwood Allen to extend the runway and ensure a safe glide path for larger twin engine aircraft. Throckmorton opposed the loss of his home, while officials warned that funding shifts could alter progress.

He notes 459 state personnel vacancies and 79 openings in the Highway Department, due to comparatively low wages, plus cramped facilities and space shortages.
