Social Services — April 2025

The focus of the Social Services Department is to coordinate existing federal, state, regional and local services, to increase community awareness of these services and to develop new programs to meet the needs of Granby residents.

April is budget time

If it’s April, then the FY 26 budget vote is right around the corner. That vote will occur on Monday, April 21. You can vote in town hall during the hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Absentee ballots are also available from the town clerk. Securing an absentee ballot is a process, so I encourage anyone who needs one to call the town clerk at 860-844-5310.

Town Hall Happenings

Enjoying the longer daylight hours and spending time outdoors is easy to do in our wonderful town. Read on for more information about activities in and around town.

How we put the General Fund to work

With winter winding down and spring upon us, the budget process is in full swing for fiscal year 2026 (July 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026). An important aspect of the budget process is the General Fund—and how it does and does not work. We will look at the current 2025 fiscal year, at the budget for FY26, and we will consider the near-term years beyond.
