The Town of Bennett is excited to have started construction on the remodel of the Public Works Facility, which will now serve as the Town’s Safety Building.

This remodel will convert the facility to accommodate various essential departments and services. This was strategically designed to improve the building’s energy efficiency and aims to achieve a LEED Silver efficiency rating.
