The Town of Essex has appointed Jeffrey Morrison to the position of Director, Finance and Business Services and Treasurer.  The position is responsible for handling all of the financial affairs of the municipality, including budgeting, property tax collection, asset management planning, and business services management.

As required, he has served as Deputy Treasurer, Acting Director of Corporate Services, and most recently as Acting Director of Finance and Business Services since May 2017.

Prior to joining the Town, Morrison served as Financial Analyst for the Municipality of Leamington and Financial and Budget Analyst with the City of Toronto.
