Jard Inc formed by former Sprague Electric executives applied to Bennington Selectmen for a permit to build a 240 by 210 foot automated electronics plant in Lyons District.

If approved in Bennington, Jard would begin construction and staffing in mid 1970, with 40 employees first year and up to 100 later.
