Supervisor Sweeton: Follow CDC Guidelines

   As we progress through the reopening phases, we ask that you continue to follow the CDC guidelines on how to protect yourself and others. There are so many unknowns and almost as many opinions, but the bottom line is we want to see our businesses reopen, remain open and our residents stay safe. They need our support now more than ever. As the true entrepreneurs that they are, they will adapt while continuing to provide the great service and value we have come to expect. Warwick is and will always be strong! These times have been difficult on so many levels, but it has underscored what a great Town we live in.     

  I want to thank the Warwick Valley Gardeners’ for the lovely plantings around the flagpole and the front steps at Town Hall. Not only do they plant them, they take care of them all summer! This is just one of the many beautiful floral displays created and cared for by these dedicated volunteers. Thank you!

  The Town Beach at the Thomas P. Morahan Waterfront Park opened on June 6 and is now open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. for Warwick Town residents only. This, of course, includes Florida, Greenwood Lake and Warwick Village residents. The beach area is limited to 50% occupancy initially while the Town and Village monitor how beachgoers observe our social gathering regulations.  Season passes can be obtained from the Warwick Town Clerk by calling 986-1124. The NYS and Orange County Departments of Health has imposed strict guidelines that staff and beachgoers will need to follow, so your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.  

   The next regular meeting of the Town Board, as per Governor Cuomo’s Executive Order 202.1, will be closed to the public but can be viewed live via the Zoom app on Thurs., June 11 at 7:30 p.m. A link to the meeting will be placed in our official newspaper, the Warwick Valley Dispatch, and on www.townofwarwick.org.  All future meetings will be conducted in this manner until the Governor’s order is lifted.
