Shop Locally. |
There are many well-documented benefits to our communities and to each of us to choosing local, independently owned businesses. We realize it is not always possible to buy what you need locally and so merely ask you to Think Local FIRST!
|
Help a Neighbor. |
Communities work better ( students perform better, crime rates are lower, kids are safer, people live longer) when neighbors know one another better.
|
Mentor a Student. |
“Opening up our hearts and making a commitment to a young person who is in need of having a caring adult in their life is one of the noblest things human beings can offer each other.” -Mark Andrews, Superintendent - Essex Town School District
|
Join a Neighborhood Watch. |
A Neighborhood watch works to reduce crime and safeguard property. It’s success depends on great relationships between residential neighborhoods and local police departments.
|
Keep in touch. |
There are lots of ways to learn about what’s going on in and around Essex! Check out the Community Calendar, Town and Village FB pages, Front Porch Forum, School websites and the Essex Reporter (to name just a few!)
|
Run for Office |
Contested elections mean a more civically engaged community! Consider throwing your name in the hat and make a difference locally or statewide!
|
Go to a Town Meeting |
There have been lots of changes at Town and Village Meeting (including a free and tasty community dinner!) Be there and be heard!
