BENNINGTON, Vt. (WCAX) – Dartmouth Health’s Southwestern Vermont Health Care in Bennington says they are moving ahead with plans to sell the former Southern Vermont College campus.
The hospital entered into a purchase and sale agreement on the campus back in March of last year with a developer who plans to turn it into a five-star luxury resort.
The hospital purchased the 371-acre campus in 2020 and used it as a COVID clinic during the pandemic.
Alfred Weissman Real Estate, LLC. hopes to turn it into a destination resort with casual and fine dining, spas, a fitness center, and other amenities. Access to the nearby trail system will remain open to the public.
Southern Vermont College closed in 2019 due to falling enrollment and other financial troubles.
