HCR 193 Vermont House · 2025-2026 Regular Session

House concurrent resolution in memory of Bennington Town Manager Stuart Alan Hurd

HCR 193 is a memorial resolution honoring Stuart Alan Hurd, former Bennington Town Manager, who served nearly 33 years (1992-2025) and died at age 77 after a four-year cancer battle. The resolution expresses the Vermont General Assembly’s condolences to Hurd’s family and colleagues, recognizing his 50+ years of municipal service, including his 2008 Vermont Municipal Service Award. It directs the Secretary of State to send a copy of the resolution to Hurd’s family and the Town of Bennington. This procedural bill has no policy impact - it solely commemorates Hurd’s legacy.
