BRATTLEBORO â More than 50 employees at the Peopleâs United Bank processing center on Putney Road will be losing their jobs.
âTheyâre offering really good severance packages to try and keep those folks on board through the duration until the termination,â said Adam Grinold, executive director of Brattleboro Development Credit Corp. âMost of it is going to occur in 2022.â
A WARN Act notice issued Thursday alerted the state and the town of the looming layoffs. Grinold said companies are required by federal law to make such notices when planning sizable reductions of workforce.

There are outward signs of a reviving service economy â increased customer traffic, streams of tourists on weekends â but many local owners are still struggling with serious staffing shortages, and the end is not yet in sight.
Most also are dealing with supply chain bottlenecks, exacerbated nationwide by staffing issues all down the line, resulting in skyrocketing costs for basic supplies, said downtown Bennington business owner Heather Hassett.
Hassett, who with her husband, Ryan, owns three local businesses, doesnât think the general public is aware of how much more improvement is needed before Benningtonâs downtown, and others around the county, can return to their pre-COVID-19 pandemic strength.
