Bristol 1976 work on schools and zoning in town
The Bristol town board clashed this spring over the school superintendent Ed Travers with votes on his rehiring and contract, amid accusations of favoritism and a secret spending spree. Arts programs funded by grants and a downtown revitalization followed by looming funding shortfalls enriched culture but faded as funds dried. Zoning talks advanced a waterfront and historic district plan plus an historic zoning ordinance to protect heritage, creating an Historic District Commission to oversee exterior alterations.
