The Town of Agawam is
a place of tradition and of opportunity. A convenient location, affordable
land and buildings, and a low tax rate allow residents to build good lives
and attract those who wish to buy a home or start a business.
The highway system and nearby airport
link Agawam to the surrounding region's many opportunities. From the town's
rural past, the community has retained a sense of being a small town where
people participate in civic activities, school affairs and sports events.
Many recreational opportunities are
offered at the State Park and neighboring golf courses. The physical setting
of Agawam, traditional farm fields, historic homes and village centers,
with the natural location of the town including mountains, rivers, streams
and wetlands, retain an appealing sense of quiet open space. A good place
to raise children, with its family values and good schools, Agawam is also
a good safe place to enjoy retirement years.
Agawam is located in Southwestern
Massachusetts, bordered by Suffield, Connecticut, on the south; Southwick
and Westfield on the west; and West Springfield on the north. The Connecticut
River separates Agawam from Springfield on the northeast and from Longmeadow
on the east. |
