From the meeting
At its September 2, 2026 notice, Essex called a special town meeting and September 29 referendum on a $12,700,000 appropriation for various capital projects. The town would finance up to $10,000,000 with bonds, notes, or temporary notes and may use grants to reduce the amount. The resolution also authorized the First Selectman and Finance Director to handle financing terms and grant applications, so the work is still in planning and funding stage.
