The 2026-27 budget, which starts on July 1, PASSED by a vote of 1,425 to 1,026. The 2,531 voters who participated in the machine vote on May 18 were 30.4 percent of registered Granby citizens.
Many thanks to all who volunteered their time and talents to hold three 12-hour referendum sessions for the Town of Granby!
Like many towns across Connecticut, Granby held three budget referendum votes before passing it on the third try: 1,425 approving and 1,026 rejecting—58 percent to 42 percent. The first budget vote was rejected with nearly the reverse percentages, while the second referendum had a closer tally but still a No.
Before summer gets into full swing, it is a great time to visit with our friends and family by going out for ice cream, taking a walk on the rail trail or meeting up at the park.
Next Steps, Upcoming events, High School Registration Drive, and Poll workers are needed
With the warmer spring weather, we reflect on the services that were provided to residents this past winter. Granby Social Services handled 83 applications for the CT Energy Assistance Program (CEAP).
During an emergency it is important that emergency personnel quickly identify your house when responding. Finding your home, especially at night, is quite challenging if your street number is hidden, unreadable, unlit or missing entirely. This can delay responders from getting to your emergency quickly.
