Hopkinton Today: Friday, Feb. 23

by | Feb 23, 2024 | 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 Trails Committee at its meeting Wednesday raised issues with the lack of connection with town entities on issues that align with its mission. The committee also voted unanimously to submit an article to Town Meeting that proposes amending the town leash law.

This week’s Baypath Adoptable Animal is 2-year-old Daphne, “a girl with a big heart and little legs.”

Our latest Business Profile highlights family-owned and operated Affordable Junk Removal, which offers same-day service for both residential and commercial clients across eastern and central Massachusetts and northern Rhode Island.

Town meetings tonight include the Select Board (6, to consider approving the warrant for the 2024 presidential primary election on March 5).

Photo of the Day: The Verrecchias — from left, mom Lynn, sons Graham and Cooper, and dad Brad — close in on a victory during Thursday’s puzzle competition at the Senior Center.
