Bennington Bonds 110000 Sewer Plan Promoted as Bargain
The Bennington Board of Selectmen endorsed a 110000 town share of a 550000 sewer extension project claiming a 6.9 cent rise in the town tax rate next year, with 5.8 cents by year five. The federally funded project would connect Merson Street Hicks Avenue and Lyons District to the sewer system, with homeowner retrofits required. A special vote on November 16 could forgo outside funding of 440000. A public hearing on the proposal and charter changes is set for November 9 at 7:30 p.m.
