New Office and Programs for Vermont Social Welfare
The Vermont Department of Social Welfare opened a new Bennington office at 199 North St next to Grand Union to serve Bennington County. The 1967 legislative shift moves welfare costs and administration from towns to the state with full local cost transfer by Oct 1. District supervisors Tony Masso and Claire R O Leary lead staff including four caseworkers and a child welfare district, all praising community cooperation. Tony Masso notes Bennington’s friendliness aids welfare work.
