Zoning Variance Clears Path for Prospect School Move
A zoning variance granted by the North Bennington Zoning Board of Appeals allows Prospect School to move next year to The Lodge on West and Park Streets, a former Johnson property. The plan envisions one or two apartments on the second floor for housing teachers, with the school expanding from Prospect Street to accommodate new classes. The board’s unanimous vote permits conversion of the 20-room, six-bath residence to up to four housekeeping units while leasing to Mrs. McCullough for the school project.
