Thanks to the proactive leadership of Bennington's town officials and the State of Vermont, Bennington has successfully reduced flood risks to roads and bridges, residential properties, and the commercial center, saving the town and taxpayers' money and staying open for business when flooding occurs. The Town estimated the floodplain restoration project costs at about $725,000. The avoided costs of Bennington's work were calculated at a mind boggling $93 million.
