Hopkinton Today: Monday, April 25

by | Apr 25, 2022 | 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 and video of the day.

According to recently released 2020 U.S. Census information, Hopkinton ranked as the 14th-wealthiest town in Massachusetts, with a median household income of $172,683. Hopkinton’s median income represented a 43.6 percent jump from the 2010 census, when it was $120,240, ranking 19th highest in Massachusetts.

The Main Street Corridor Project will continue over the next two weeks with the installation of electric manholes as well as Comcast and telephone manholes at the intersection of Hayden Rowe Street and Main Street, the town announced. Additionally, a fence will be set up along the north side of the Town Common, and the abutting Marathon Way will be closed throughout the current construction season as it will be used as a lay-down area.

The Hopkinton Garden Club’s annual spring plant sale is scheduled to take place on Saturday, May 7, from 8 a.m. to noon at the Hopkinton Town Common. Club members will be selling perennials, many dug from their own gardens, and annuals, to include a wide variety of flowers, vegetables and herbs.

The Hopkinton Music Association is selling tickets to the 2022 Countdown to Pops calendar raffle through May 15 to raise funds for music scholarships and music program needs at the Hopkinton Public Schools. Tickets are $10 each, and each ticket is eligible for prizes in up to 29 daily drawings, depending on the date of purchase. Daily drawings began April 24 and run through May 21.

Town meetings tonight include the Board of Health (5:30), Board of Library Trustees (7) and Marathon Fund Committee (7).
