FERRISBURGH — Attendees of Ferrisburgh’s annual town meeting on Saturday, Feb. 28 approved a $2,862,039.92 municipal budget for fiscal year 2027. The roughly 90 people who attended also said yes to several appropriations for local social service agencies that morning.

The budget figure is $31,887.92 higher, or just over 1%, than the $2,830,154 voters approved last year during their annual meeting.

The FY27 plan calls for taxes to fund $2,360,639.92, up $13,686, or around a half a percent, from the $2,346,954 that officials planned to collect over the course of FY26.

The sum voters set aside for 28 area social service agencies totals $36,895.

Of those slated to receive a sum, Tri-Valley Transit, Turning Point Center of Addison County and Addison County Home Health & Hospice have the biggest requests, with $3,517, $3,000 and $2,983, respectively. The other 25 organizations will receive between $150-$2,500.

Of the roughly 2,400 people registered to vote in Ferrisburgh, 533 cast ballots on Town Meeting Day.

Incumbent James Benoit and newcomer Liz Markowski were elected in two uncontested races for selectboard. Benoit will continue his decade-plus tenure on the selectboard with a three-year term and Markowski will begin hers with a two-year stint.

They will join Chris Campbell, Rick Ebel and Walter Reed, who have one, two and one years left on their terms, respectively.

The only article voters rejected was a measure to put the management of the town’s property information in the hands of an assessor in lieu of the office of the Town Lister, which officials proposed eliminating. It failed 283-244.

The three lister positions are also elected seats.
