Deal For Former High School Building Falls Through

A deal that would have turned a former Vermont high school into a co-working space has fallen through.
Charles Crowell had planned to turn the Bennington High School building into a for-profit incubator but failed to prove occupancy.

Bennington officials say the would-be developer must also pay back a $20,000 loan to the town. The Bennington Banner reports Crowell will now begin receiving invoices from the town to pay back the loan.

Town Manager Stuart Hurd says he isn't certain why a scheduled closing on the building fell through and he isn't certain about the status of the building.
