BENNINGTON â Southwestern Vermont Health Care has checked off another box in the lengthy permitting process for a $26 million expansion of the hospital emergency department, and the project remains on track to receive final approvals in the fall.
The town Development Review Board provided unanimous land use approval for the project Tuesday, as well as for the related demolition of one of the early Putnam Memorial Hospital buildings to allow a new hospital entrance and access drive.
Proposed is demolition of The Lodge building opposite the current entrance to Southwestern Vermont Medical Center. The brick structure was built in 1925 for employee housing for what was then Putnam Memorial, which opened in 1918.

Southwestern Vermont Medical Center, part of Southwestern Vermont Health Care, encourages everyone to dispose of their unwanted prescription medications properly on National Prescription Drug Take Back Day, April 24.
Members of the public are encouraged to visit takebackday.dea.gov to find a take-back location near them.
Every day is a prescription drug take-back day at SVMC, where a drug take-back box in the lobby has allowed members of the public to anonymously dispose of 1,649 pounds of unwanted medications since its installation in July 2017.
The box looks like a mailbox, featuring a one-way medicine drop. It can be used to dispose of unused or expired controlled substances, non-controlled substances, and even over-the-counter medications. The specialized box is available to the public 24 hours each day.
