Hopkinton Today: Monday, May 20

by | May 20, 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.

Annual Town Election is today, with polls open at Hopkinton Middle School from 7 a.m.-8 p.m. In the only contested race, voters will elect two individuals to fill the open spots on the Select Board. There also are eight ballot questions, with voters to make a final decision on the Hopkins School addition/renovation project along with some other less expensive requests.

The School Committee on Thursday talked about member Adam Munroe’s frequent absences and heard a report on disproportionality in special education.

The Department of Public Works announced that road paving is scheduled for this week, starting with a section of Pond Street Monday and Tuesday.

Our latest Business Profile highlights Enjoy Homes, which focuses on brick and stone patios, wooden or composite decks and more.
