Town seeks waiver for wooden bridges in Bennington
Bennington selectmen asked Town Counsel Norton Barber to write to the Vermont Department of Public Safety seeking a waiver of the statutory 16,000 lb limit on wood floored bridges. The waiver would cover all municipal vehicles including school buses. The push followed an engineer’s report rating the East Road Chapel Road crossover bridge safe for 8,000 lb and a new bridge cost of about 11,000. Residents warned about safety as school routes would force children to walk along crossovers.

Bennington County housing gap widens to include middle income
A Bennington County Regional Planning Commission survey shows a substantial housing shortage not limited to the poor. About 70 percent of families earn under $10,000 yearly. The average new three bedroom house with land costs $26,000, a figure many cannot finance due to down payments and credit. Young families and those under $5,000 income are hardest hit. The study used census data and door to door interviews, including substandard units in Bennington Village.
