Road salt alert. Due to multi-state road salt shortages, suppliers are currently unable to deliver additional road salt to the Village. The Highway Department announced on January 23 that it will use remaining reserves judiciously for winter storms. Village roads may not be cleared as promptly and regularly as they have been until the salt supply improves.
The Cora May and Bob Howe Award. The Fund for North Bennington has established a community award in honor of the Howes for the example they set over years of engaged and thoughtful community life.
