Recently an open forum was held in Warwick to preview, provide comments
and feedback on the revised Warwick Open Space and Recreation Plan to
members of the Warwick Open Space Revision Committee. This committee has
been meeting twice monthly since March 2009 to update the expired
Warwick Open Space and Recreation Plan. In order to be eligible for
grants, this plan must be revised every 5 years. Over 50 Warwick town
residents met at the Warwick Town Hall to see the Power Point
presentation and to participate in a discussion. Shown here is member,
Dave Shepardson, discussing details and corrections of Warwick's
featured maps. The maps and the Warwick Open Space Plan 5-year
objectives are on display at the Warwick Public Library in order to
encourage more public comment and review, before the plan becomes final.
"The mission of the Warwick Open Space Committee is to provide guidance 
to the Warwick Board of Selectmen, town boards, residents and others on
how to maintain the rural character and sense of community of Warwick
through protecting and encouraging wise use of the land and natural
resources, enhancingrecreational opportunities and encouraging
appropriate economic and residential development."
