The Bennington area offers recreation and a small-town feel with proximity to urban centers, but it presents challenges in areas like salaries, upward mobility, lack of events, housing and daycare costs. Those are some results of the Shires Young Professionals' inaugural survey of young professionals in the region, sent out to members of the group last month.
The mission the Shires Young Professional group is to help young professionals and families create deep roots in our community that encourage them to stay and build a prosperous life in the Shires of Vermont. The SYP looks to engage, emerge, and empower young professionals throughout the region.
