Cornwall Town Meeting Day 2026 Results

CORNWALL — Cornwall residents at their town meeting elected Barbara Greenwood in a contested race for the selectboard and passed every item on their warning with little debate.

Greenwood bested Shawn Fetterolf, 116-87, in the race for a two-year term on the selectboard. All other elections were uncontested. Incumbent Selectman Brian Kemp ran unopposed for another three-year term on the panel.

Passing by resounding voice votes at Cornwall’s annual meeting were:

  • The proposed fiscal year 2027 general fund budget of $617,359, and the highway budget of $611,298.
  • $5,000 for the Cornwall Free Public Library to pay its FY27 expenses.
  • $81,200 to help the Cornwall Volunteer Fire Department to pay its FY27 expenses.
  • Permission for the delinquent tax collector to become an appointed, rather than elected position.
  • A combined total of $35,245 in FY27 requests from a variety of Addison County nonprofits that serve Cornwall residents.
  • A non-binding resolution stating “Shall the voters of Cornwall call upon the General Assembly to discuss, take testimony, and vote on H.433 during the 2026 session? H.433 is an Act Relating to Incremental Implementation of Green Mountain Care that would establish publicly financed universal primary care, mental health services and substance use treatment as a first step in phasing in universal healthcare for all Vermont residents.”

Cornwall residents on Tuesday, March 3, also cast ballots on a proposed fiscal year 2027 Addison Central School District spending plan of $53 million, a proposed FY27 Patricia Hannaford Career Center budget of $6,271,915; a referendum seeking formal closure of Ripton Elementary School; and a series of uncontested elections for the ACSD board.
