Union School Plan Picks Soldiers Home Site
The Mt. Anthony Union School Board selected the Vermont Soldiers Home tract east of Park Street as the high school site after weeks of debate and a shift from the Town Farm option. The decision reflects voter preference in the Bennington Graded School District, with some directors arguing for a wider ballot at a future time. Deep soil borings due next week could alter the plan.
