UniBank announced last month that it has donated $20,000 to the Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce to renew its five-year sponsorship of the Gateway Green Beautification Site.

“The Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce has created an attractively landscaped medium strip on West Main Street at the entrance to Hopkinton off [Interstate] 495,” explained Peter Mezitt, co-chair of the Hopkinton Chamber Gateway Green Initiative and president of Weston Nurseries. “This well-maintained landscape symbolizes the tightness of the businesses in our community and demonstrates the vibrant, engaged atmosphere that exists in the Town of Hopkinton. I am very pleased that UniBank has once again taken a lead corporate sponsorship position in support of the Gateway Green as it shows one of the many ways they have demonstrated they truly care about this town and other communities where they are located.”

in 2016 to become a founding sponsor of the Gateway Green Beautification Site, we jumped all in for the opportunity. The Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce has been a great partner of ours and the Hopkinton community has embraced our bank for many years. We are pleased to renew our sponsorship for an additional five years.”
