Floodplain zoning stirs Bennington officials and lawmakers
Five of Bennington's six state representatives met with town officials to call for major changes to the floodplain zoning bill H 100, arguing it risks overreach and piecemeal regulation, while all sides agree a flood zoning measure could bring federal insurance benefits with local control. The group urged a more cooperative approach and a stronger enabling framework before next session. Local officials fear the bill could curb future development in Bennington's floodplain central village area. Representatives pledged to monitor the bill and push for a satisfactory version through committee consideration.
