Humane Society to recommend sale of Shaftsbury property
The Bennington County Humane Society will urge members at its May 12 Arlington meeting to sell the former Jean Henry property near Route 7. The group bought the 14-acre site in 1969 for about 25000 with plans for a kennel complex and permanent shelter, but zoning issues, neighbor concerns, and boundary questions have stalled progress and prompted reassessment of a new home and services in the near term.
