Welcome to the official home page of the historic town of Warwick, Massachusetts! I hope this page will help visitors locate information about our town and its history and attractions, as well as serve our townspeople as a source of helpful information and an electronic Town Hall. And see our wonderful town Newsletter (September 2020 issue) - recent, older newsletters are here; or join the WarwickList, or the Warwick L-ternative Facebook page for even more information about our town.

Thanks,

Ed Lemon, Webmaster

Help during the crisis:

A small group of Warwickians has formed the Warwick Community Mutual Aid Network, which is part of a larger group (WMA Community Mutual Aid, http://www.macma.com) now organizing across Western Massachusetts. The goal is to connect community members in need during the coronavirus pandemic with others able to assist them. For more info click here.

And here is a list of resources available to MA citizens, and specifically those in Franklin County: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XNuMu9S1q-ZXYJIfsg_eRubDZRQCIBf7swh5FI4sYio/edit

The letter explains the program, which entails a 41month fixed-price contract, as well as how to opt-out...or opt-in if you want to upgrade to a more locally produced renewable energy supply.
