The development of this website was made possible by the U.S. Economic Development Administration which awarded funding in December 2012 to the Bennington and Windham regions through the Disaster Recovery Grant Program. The grant was designed to bring additional professional capacity to Southern Vermont to assist with economic recovery following Tropical Storm Irene. A major focus of the Windham and Bennington County Regional Commissions’ work was to support village and downtown revitalization and assist municipalities with economic recovery.
