The Town of Essex & Village of Essex Junction collected a total of 293 lbs. of food and raised $400 in donations at two popular community events this spring.

Why Essex? The high students that attend the center come from Essex and surrounding communities to learn about teaching young children. The preschool children also come from Essex and the surrounding areas to attend preschool. We love being part of the Essex community and watching as the preschool children grow and attend other schools! –Lissa Bogner

The Village of Essex Junction Community Development and Public Works Departments would like to remind all residents that overgrown grass or weeds taller than one foot is a violation of our blight ordinance. 

Stop by the 1^st ever Planning Commission Open House on Tuesday, June 11^th from 6-6:30 PM at the Village Offices (2 Lincoln Street).  Meet current Planning Commission members and learn more about the roles and responsibilities of being a member.  If that isn’t enticing enough, we will have a make your own sundae bar!

Why Essex? “Current estimates are looking like 14% of the population of Essex will be undercounted in the 2020 Census.  That adds up to a lot of federal dollars that we would be missing out on in our community.”

The Village of Essex Junction is proud to announce that Chelsea Mandigo, Stormwater Coordinator/Wastewater Operator, is the 2019 recipient of the Green Mountain Water Environment Association’s Stormwater Award.  

Why Essex? “We wanted to open our business in the community that we live in and are familiar with, and we saw a community need for a local real estate office.” –Matt Lumsden
