Town Description:

Madison is a unique town graced by the sound to the south and by farms and woodlands to the north. Its ambiance includes a little something for every taste.

The Main Street area sports an award-winning, user-friendly book store, a cinema, quaint sandwich and sweet shops, linen appointed restaurants, and a growing number of clothing and gift boutiques. In addition, the town green hosts a variety of summer art and craft fairs, antique shows, musical and dramatic performances.

Guests can choose a charming beach hotel or a warm country inn, each with proximity to historical homes, antique shops, hiking, biking, fishing and, of course, beautiful beaches.

Year-round residents boast of a superior school system, an expansive recreational program and many opportunities to volunteer their service. Madison is, indeed the perfect combination of small-town closeness and urban sophistication. It is a wonderful place to live, no less a must to visit.

Quotes:

"We were excited to vote for the 20% by 2010 resolution as the first step in reducing the environmental impact of energy use by the town of Madison and its citizens. Our Ad-hoc Energy Committee is also moving forward on a series of projects to help the town, schools, homeowners, and businesses realize the immediate and long term benefits of clean power and efficient energy use."
Bill Gladstone
First Selectman

"Switching to renewable sources of electricity doesn’t have to be expensive. An average household uses around 700 kilowatts a month and the cost of buying this from renewable sources is about $7. This can be offset pretty easily by replacing your standard light bulbs with Compact Fluorescent ones; they even last longer!"
Dean Plummer
member of the Town’s Energy Committee and a Clean Energy supporter

"The Town’s Energy Committee strongly believes that the Town’s participation in the 20% by 2010 program is an important first step in encouraging the Town’s residents, businesses and other organizations to conserve energy, reduce carbon emissions and ultimately reduce Madison’s role in global warming. There appears to be considerable interest among residents in this area and adopting this resolution is tangible proof that Madison town government shares this concern."
