PLEASE RATE YOUR PRIORITIES FOR YOUR TOWN
Last year, the Selectboard developed long term goals that cover the time period from 2025-2033 based on values identified by the Selectboard and informed in part by the 2024 Town Plan.
As we begin a new fiscal year on July 1, we invite your input on the Board’s priorities. Please take a few minutes to complete this short survey to rate your priorities.
This survey is for residents who reside in the Town of Essex only, please. Thank you!
The survey will close June 4, 2025.
