Mt Anthony Board seeks EDA funds for vo tech school
Mt Anthony Union School directors voted to apply for Economic Development Act funds to build a new vocational school near the present high school rather than in the North Bennington Shaftsbury area. The decision followed debate with some directors opposing and concerns about time and information. If funds are awarded, construction would be fully funded and the current high school would be reorganized to ease overcrowding.

Town weighs chemicals to treat Bennington water
