The Town of Warwick has released proposed Local Law No. 5 of 2026, establishing what is believed to be one of the strictest Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) zoning laws in New York State. The proposed law is designed to protect public safety while allowing reasonable residential and commercial battery storage systems and effectively preventing utility-scale battery storage facilities in our community. The full draft law and an easy-to-read summary are now available on the Town website under “Important Notices”, where residents can also conveniently submit comments through a new online public input portal. We encourage everyone to review the proposal and share constructive feedback as we continue refining the law. I want to sincerely thank the committee, our professional consultants, and especially Deputy Supervisor Russ Kowal for chairing this important effort. We are currently in the public review phase, and the draft may be amended based on public input before or after the public hearing, which begins on July 23 at 1 p.m. at Warwick Town Hall and will continue at least through the August 13 Town Board meeting. Written comments may also be submitted by email to clerk@townofwarwickny.gov or by mail to the Warwick Town Board, 132 Kings Highway, Warwick, NY 10990.
