Bennington selectmen unanimously approved a land swap with Dr Richard A Sleeman to allow a 9.1 acre Woodford Road site to be developed into a 12 store shopping center. The deal provides an access right of way to the Boating Branch and moves disputed overlap deeds, with Sleeman seeking a zoning variance to permit the project.
