We are pleased to announce that Hopkinton Town Hall reopened to the public as of Monday, Aug. 10. Appointments are required: ​click here for more information​. All town departments are open for business. Many transactions can be completed online, and we are available via phone and email to assist during regular business hours. A full Town Directory can be ​found here​. A box at the front door of Town Hall may be used to drop off correspondence, applications, etc., and they may also be mailed or emailed.

As of Wednesday’s (Aug. 26) weekly Public Health Report and ​Community Level Data Reporting​ issued by the Commonwealth, Hopkinton’s 14-day Average Daily Case Rate (per 100,000) is trending negatively from <5 reported cases (gray rating), to <4 cases per 100,000 (green rating). Most of the new cases in Hopkinton are attributed to travel. While Hopkinton, as a community, continues to fare well, this uptick is a reminder that we all need to stay vigilant. A continued negative trend of the 14-day Average Daily Case Rate (per 100,000) to 4-8 cases per 100,000 would move Hopkinton into the yellow rating, and may negatively impact the school reentry, reduce the likelihood of fall sports and jeopardize the health and wellness of the community.

Annual Town Meeting — ​NEW DETAILS
At its meeting last week (Aug. 18), the Hopkinton Select Board ​voted to reschedule​ Annual Town Meeting to Saturday, Sept. 12, at 9:30 a.m. The location has been confirmed, and ATM will take place outside at the Hopkinton High School in the “old bus loop” area. There will be one large tent, able to accommodate 200 people with socially distanced seating. Families, or those residing in the same household, will not be exempt from the socially distanced seating arrangements — and so we ask for your cooperation in not moving or relocating chairs. In the event of severe inclement weather, the rain date will be Sunday, Sept. 13, 1 p.m. More details will be forthcoming.
