Hopkinton Today: Friday, Aug. 11

by | Aug 11, 2023 | Featured: Features, Hopkinton Today

Good morning, Hopkinton! Welcome to the daily update we call Hopkinton Today — a quick recap of yesterday’s news, highlights of what’s on tap, and a photo of the day.

The Communities at Golden Pond assisted living facility is allowed to accept new residents after the Massachusetts Executive Office of Elder Affairs approved its corrective action plan in June to address numerous violations the facility received in March after a failed compliance review.

The Trails Committee (formerly known as the Trail Coordination and Management Committee) met for nearly two hours Wednesday night to discuss its role in further discussions about the town’s efforts to reform the Upper Charles Trail Committee, as well as its own initiatives.

This week’s Baypath Adoptable Animal is 6-month-old Kevin, who arrived with his siblings from Georgia and is adjusting to life in New England.

Hopkinton Cub Scouts Pack 4, for boys and girls in Grades K-5, will host an event open to the public on Wednesday, Aug. 16, from 6-8 p.m. at the MetroWest YMCA Recreation Lodge. The event will include water bottle rocket launching, rock climbing and ice cream, and attendees can learn more about Cub Scouts.

Town meetings tonight include the Elementary School Building Committee (3).
