Due to the rise in COVID-19 cases throughout the county, the Warwick Town Hall offices are closed to the public. This measure was put in place beginning Monday, Nov. 23.
The lobby has drop boxes where residents may leave forms, water and sewer payments, building applications and other paperwork.
“We understand this disruption of normal service may be an inconvenience, but this is a serious health crisis and we need to do all we can do to prevent community spread and end this pandemic,” said Supervisor Michael Sweeton in his Supervisor’s Corner. “Most services you need, including forms, permits, etc., can be downloaded from www.townofwarwick.org and left in a box in the lobby of town hall.”
Requests will be processed quickly and that all departments are monitoring emails and phones. “You will get a returned call or message and you will be served,” Sweeton said. “It will just be in a prudent manner that complies with the governor’s executive order.”

“Dr. Fauci, at the recent Coronavirus Task Force briefing, said ‘If you know the calvary (vaccines) is coming, you don’t stop shooting until they get there,’” Sweeton said. “We need to double down on taking precautions, wearing our masks, washing our hands and watching our distances. On behalf of the Town Board I wish you a safe, healthy Thanksgiving.’
