Hopkinton Today: Thursday, July 18

by | Jul 18, 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 Select Board at its meeting Tuesday night learned about the potential benefits of a municipal aggregation plan for electricity and a proposed upcoming public forum on the topic.

At Tuesday’s Conservation Commission meeting, the Charleswood School’s notice of intent was presented, and the commission voted to allow the release of 10 foundations at The Trails development pending the submission of a construction timeline.

This week’s Police Log includes one arrest along with reports of late-night swimming at Sandy Beach, a loose horse and a stolen bicycle.

Hopkinton-based Baypath Humane Society is taking part in the Mass Saves Adoptathon, a statewide effort to help adult dogs find their forever homes faster. From July 15 through July 21, adoption fees for dogs over one year will be waived, making it easier than ever for families to welcome a new furry friend into their lives.

Town meetings tonight include the Veterans Celebration Committee (6:30).
