Getting Things Done For You
Town of Essex Council officially adopted the 2023-2027 Strategic Action Plan at the regular meeting on Monday, June 5, 2023.
The full plan can be downloaded and paper copies of the plan will be available at Town of Essex facilities.
This project began with an invitation to our residents to tell us why Essex is a great place and what we can do to make it even better. Between February 28 - March 31, 2023, residents had the opportunity to provide their responses to an online questionnaire. A total of 489 residents provided valuable input that helped shape this Plan.
All of this feedback provided valuable input on establishing the Town's four strategic goals and associated action items.
