Nursing home permit denied despite board critique of bylaws
Bennington Village Zoning Board of Appeals denied the variance needed to build a 100 bed nursing home on Putnam Street area zoned R-1. The board faulted the project plans and landscaping details as incomplete while urging the town Planning Commission to set aside areas for health needs. Key figures included Bruce Levinsky, Village Trustee Joseph Pello, and Bennington selectman Joseph Higgins. The panel lamented the lack of specific nursing home provisions in current zoning and noted adequate water and sewer capacity from nearby lines. The meeting closed with condolences for late member Bernard F. Ryan.

Tax Debt Mounts As Bennington Town Faces Route 7 Loss
Town Treasurer Alma Langlois told the Bennington Sisters that $3 million in real and personal taxes are owed, with about $2 million unpaid and 4 400 of 7 000 poll taxes outstanding. The Nov 4 deadline looms as escrow payments may lag 10 percent. The town will not be reimbursed by the state for 100 properties taken for Route 7, risking about $1 million on the Grand List.
