North Bennington Spur Dies Compromise urged for Beltline funds
Highway Commissioner John T. Gray urged the state Highway Board to shelve the proposed 3.5 million North Bennington spur and redirect funds to the Bennington Beltline project. Rep. Joseph J. Caracciola said the plan mirrors an earlier Montpelier proposal and noted support from District Highway Engineer Ivor S. Pelsue and Highway Board member H. James Wallace. The board did not act, but signaled possible agreement. Caracciola plans to draft a Beltline bill and convene the Bennington County delegation after the election.
