[Bennington, VT] - Evernorth is pleased to announce the closing of funding and capital investments for the redevelopment of Bennington High School (Benn High) in downtown Bennington, Vermont. The Benn High redevelopment project, which is sponsored by Vermont Housing Initiative, reinvigorates a vacant, two-story, historic school campus on Main Street, transforming it into both affordable housing and vital services for the community. Benn High is the result of years of diligent collaboration and planning among state and local business leaders, nonprofits, community advocacy groups, government officials and state housing and economic development agencies, alongside the long-time support of municipal officials and Bennington residents. When complete, the reimagined Benn High will be home to a childcare center, senior center, town recreational facilities, youth programs, community meeting space, University of Vermont Extension classes, as well as mixed-income apartments.
