Post Office to Leave Bennington Landmark Building
The Post Office Department plans to abandon the Vermont marble corner building at South and Union Streets citing deplorable condition and space limits. Officials say a new facility would triple work space, expand loading and storage, and provide parking for trucks and patrons, while local staff complain of overcrowding and outdated amenities. The change follows Bennington’s population growth and a shift to truck delivery, with the post office serving as a regional distribution center for nearby towns.
