Norwood: Hospital Town with Its Own Utility
Norwood is one of the few municipalities in Massachusetts that operates its own electric and broadband utility, Norwood Light. This has given the town relatively low electricity rates and early access to fiber-optic internet compared to surrounding communities served by private utilities. The town sits on Route 1 and I-95 in Norfolk County, roughly 15 miles south of downtown Boston.
Norwood Hospital, which served the community for over a century, was severely damaged by flooding in 2020 and has been the subject of rebuilding plans since. The Route 1 commercial corridor, which forms the town's eastern boundary, is lined with car dealerships, hotels, and restaurants. The Norwood Space Center, a former U.S. government facility, was converted to office use.
The town center along Washington Street and Nahatan Street retains a traditional commercial district with small shops and restaurants. Norwood Memorial Airport, a general aviation field, operates on the town's southern side. The town operates under a representative town meeting form of government. The commuter rail stops at Norwood Central, Norwood Depot, and Windsor Gardens, providing direct service to South Station.
