T. F. Green Airport (signed as T. F. Green Airport/Warwick) is a train station and intermodal facility in Warwick, Rhode Island, on the Northeast Corridor, adjacent to T. F. Green Airport. It extends the MBTA Commuter Rail Providence/Stoughton Line from Boston, which previously only went as far as the Providence train station. The station was completed in October 2010 and MBTA service began on December 6, 2010. On November 14, 2011, service expanded to 10 weekday trains in each direction. Trips to and from Boston's South Station take 75 to 90 minutes. The station's primary purpose is to serve local commuters to Providence and Boston, but it will also bring passengers and employees to and from the airport. The station also makes it possible to move between T.F. Green and Logan International Airport in about two hours via subway and commuter rail. Amtrak trains cannot and do not serve the station because the track that serves the single platform is not electrified. Funding was not provided for the necessary track and electrical work, although long-range plans call for this infrastructure to be provided.

Hillsgrove, Rhode Island
Hillsgrove, Rhode Island

Hillsgrove, originally Hill's Grove, is a village in western central Warwick, Rhode Island.The village was established in 1867. It consists of the area of Warwick centered on the intersection of Kilvert Street and Jefferson Boulevard, on both sides of the railroad tracks. Directly north of the village proper is North Hillsgrove, a typical early to mid-twentieth century suburban neighborhood. In 1867 industrialist Thomas Jefferson Hill built the Rhode Island Malleable Iron Works at what is today Jefferson Boulevard and Kilvert Street. In 1870, he built his house, now demolished, on Jefferson Boulevard. In 1875, Hill expanded his operations in the village with the Elizabeth Mill, named for his wife, Elizabeth C. Kenyon.The Hillsgrove Methodist Episcopal Church was established in 1884. The lot at 35 Kilvert Street was donated by Hill, who also gave $3,000 for its construction in 1887. Though altered due to the airport's presence, the church still stands as the home of the Open Table of Christ. The village's other main church, St. Francis of Assisi Roman Catholic Church, was established in 1899 as a mission of St. Joseph's, Natick. The original church was built in 1900 at 610 Jefferson Boulevard. This building was torn down in 1960 for the parish's current school and church building. By 1915, the original Hillsgrove School had become too small, and was replaced by one designed by Thomas J. Hill Pierce of Providence. This school, a reserved Colonial Revival structure, has been demolished. In 1918, the original buildings of the Iron Works burned, and were replaced by a group designed by Jackson, Robertson & Adams of Providence. With the exception of the administration building, these buildings were demolished in 2002 for a hotel. In 1929, Hillsgrove was selected as the site of Hillsgrove State Airport, now T. F. Green Airport, the largest and most important airport in the state. The airport's first terminal was built in 1932 at 572 Airport Road, a year after the airport opened in 1931. Hangars No. 1 and No. 2 were built in 1937 and 1940, respectively. Hangar No. 1 was demolished for a runway extension in 2013. A new terminal was built in 1961 on Post Road across from Hillsgrove proper. This terminal was replaced in 1995. The most recent addition to the airport is the railway station and parking garage on Jefferson Boulevard, connected to the terminal by a quarter-mile skybridge. Leviton Manufacturing formerly operated a large factory here, fabricating electronic components for many years. The Elizabeth Mill, which housed Leviton, was slated for redevelopment but was demolished in 2015.The major thoroughfares in the village are Post Road, Jefferson Boulevard, and Coronado Road/Kilvert Street. Since the airport was opened, Hillsgrove south of Coronado Road has been gradually given over to industry, to the point where there are only 2 houses left. The northern end of Jefferson Boulevard has also become an industrial park. And the once predominantly residential Post Road has been given over to chain restaurants, hotels, car rental dealerships, and other businesses that feed off of the airport.

Norwood, Rhode Island

Norwood is a neighborhood in the city of Warwick, Rhode Island. Norwood is bounded by Route 37, the Pawtuxet River, Sherwood Avenue, the former Christopher Rhodes Elementary School, North Palm Boulevard, Palm Boulevard, and Post Road. Such borders mark the area traditionally served by the fire station previously located at the current site of the Norwood Boys & Girls Club. Norwood was established in 1874, when landscape architects and surveyors Niles B. Schubarth & Co. of Providence were hired by Nathan D. Pierce to lay out its streets. A rail station was built at the same time, connecting the neighborhood to Providence. In the 1880s, it was further connected when Elmwood Avenue was extended from Cranston across the Pawtuxet River to Post Road. Development began to pick up in the 1890s, when the Gorham Manufacturing Co. moved their operations to nearby Cranston.The Norwood School, originally built soon after 1874, was replaced in 1893 by a new building, itself replaced with the current structure in 1968. The Norwood Public Library, now a branch of the Warwick Public Library, was built in 1923 at 328 Pawtuxet Avenue. The neighborhood is also home to a number of churches. The first, St. William's R. C. Church, was established in 1924 as a mission of St. Matthew's of Cranston. The original building stood at what is today 108 Perry Avenue. This building was torn down when a new one was built at 200 Pettaconsett Avenue in 1960. The other two churches in Norwood are the Norwood Baptist Church and the Rhode Island Central Korean Church. The local Boys and Girls Club is located in the neighborhood. In the center of Norwood is Norwood Field which contains a baseball diamond, a basketball court, a playground, and open lawns. Post Road is the main thoroughfare through Norwood, and is commercially developed, as are parts of Elmwood Avenue. Both Elmwood and Post (as Broad Street) meet about 4.4 miles north of Norwood and continue on to downtown Providence. The Norwood Neighborhood Association meets in the Norwood Boys and Girls Club.
