BENNINGTON — With an infusion of federal COVID-19 relief money on the way, the Select Board is considering hiring a consultant to prepare an economic development plan to make use of the funds.
The proposal grew from discussion last month following word the town will receive $1.375 million through the American Rescue Plan Act, which is providing aid throughout the country, and that a second round of funding is expected.
After a suggestion from the Vermont League of Cities and Towns that communities develop a plan for spending the money, the town later asked the consulting firm, White & Burke Real Estate Advisors, of Burlington, to submit a proposal to prepare a development plan, to be paid for from the federal money. ....

There are outward signs of a reviving service economy — increased customer traffic, streams of tourists on weekends — but many local owners are still struggling with serious staffing shortages, and the end is not yet in sight.
Most also are dealing with supply chain bottlenecks, exacerbated nationwide by staffing issues all down the line, resulting in skyrocketing costs for basic supplies, said downtown Bennington business owner Heather Hassett.
Hassett, who with her husband, Ryan, owns three local businesses, doesn’t think the general public is aware of how much more improvement is needed before Bennington’s downtown, and others around the county, can return to their pre-COVID-19 pandemic strength. ....

Southern Vermont experiencing a very wet July, some flooding


Flooding on the golf course at the Arlington Rec Park recently.
CAROLINE BONNIVIER SNYDER — BENNINGTON BANNER
BENNINGTON — Bennington didn’t get as much rain as other towns in the region over the weekend. But it has seen an extraordinarily wet July, which has brought flooding and soil erosion.
Bennington recorded 0.6 inches of rain between Sunday night and Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service. In comparison, Manchester got 1.4 inches during the same time, Woodford had 1 inch and Brattleboro had .75 inches.
The region is experiencing a “very anomalously wet weather pattern” for this time of year, said meteorologist Michael Main, of the National Weather Service’s Albany, N.Y., office. He attributes this to ordinary showers and thunderstorms that are nonetheless moving slowly, sitting over an area for hours. ....
