Hopkinton Today: Thursday, June 22

by | Jun 22, 2023 | 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.

Concerns recently arose about teen activity in the downtown business district and what options are available for young adults to socialize after school and during the summer break.

The Select Board during its nearly four-hour hybrid meeting Tuesday night approved a 17.5% water rate increase, which will be somewhat offset by a 5% sewer rate decrease, by a 4-0 vote.

This week’s Police Log includes reports of a threat to shoot up a house, a woman being pushed down the stairs during an argument, and a dog that would not emerge from under a porch.

Town meetings tonight include the Board of Health (5:30), Community Preservation Committee (7) and Elementary School Building Committee (7:30).

Photo of the Day: Courtesy of Amit Jagdale, we have some photos from around town in June, including this closeup of a giant leopard moth.
