Have you checked out the 2016 Essex Town Plan? The Heart & Soul process helped to create a vision for our community. 

“We learned that despite a wide variety of opinions and ideas, there are a few key things that matter most. We value our connections with each other. Our neighborly traditions keep us safe, sustain us during challenging times and bring us together for celebration and fun. We see ourselves as a community that values education and learning. We want to be a welcoming place and aspire to become more culturally aware as our community becomes more diverse. We take pride in many community assets, including our highly regarded schools, libraries and recreation departments. We want to see these institutions continue to improve. “We value the urban and rural mix that make up Essex. We want to see balanced future growth, which includes a diverse mix of housing options, economic development, and conservation of open space. We hope for improved infrastructure that will ease traffic, increase our safety and connect all parts of the community together. We are especially passionate about the prospect of a well connected system of sidewalks and bike paths throughout all of Essex.”
