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 Select Board at its meeting Tuesday night voted unanimously for Elaine Lazarus to be appointed as Hopkinton’s new town manager, pending successful contract negotiations.

Tuesday’s Elementary School Building Committee meeting included an update on design development from Robert Bell, architect Perkins Eastman’s educational programmer.

A Hopkinton man will be tried in Middlesex Superior Court on Dec. 16 for allegedly not paying more than $467,000 in excise taxes on vaping products purchased during the pandemic to sell at his businesses. Sarah Lamson, a spokesperson for the Middlesex County District Attorney’s Office, confirmed via email that Ashraf Youssef, 61, appeared in court Tuesday morning for a scheduling conference.
