The Town of Essex is asking residents to share their input on the 2027 Municipal Budget. Residents are encouraged to complete an online survey to help identify the capital project categories that matter most to them. “Public input is an important part of the municipal budget process,” said Mayor Sherry Bondy. “We encourage residents to take a few minutes to share what capital priorities matter most to them. Their feedback will help Council and Administration understand the community’s priorities as we work toward the 2027 Budget.” The survey is available online. Residents who prefer to complete a paper copy can pick one up during regular business hours at: The survey will remain open until Sept. 30, 2026.
