Bennington airport to be run by new area group
Wilbur Rice says a local businessmen group has bought Bennington Aviation Inc and will operate the Bennington County Airport as a new corporation with Rice as head. John Meerwarth stays as president, while others join as officers and directors. The plan aims to keep services, seek cooperation from state officials, and possibly add a two engine plane. The move follows airport concerns and a one year trial basis, with community business leaders supporting continued fixed based operations.
