Hopkinton Today: Thursday, Sept. 21

by | Sep 21, 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.

The police hiring controversy dominated much of Tuesday’s Select Board meeting, as members held a discussion with Chief Joseph Bennett about the department’s policy and how board members could become more involved.

The 84-year-old man who went missing from The Communities at Golden Pond assisted living last week died Saturday, according to an obituary at the Eaton Funeral Homes website.

During a brief meeting on Tuesday, the Elementary School Building Committee learned that the proposed Elmwood School project is likely to receive an additional $1.3 million in reimbursement from the Massachusetts School Building Authority.

This week’s Police Log includes reports of multiple hit-and-run incidents, a case of indecent exposure, and teenagers fighting on Main Street on an early release day from school.

The Hopkinton Women’s Club will hold its next monthly meeting on Monday, Oct. 16, at 9:30 a.m. at the Hopkinton Public Library. There will be a social gathering followed by a business meeting.

Town meetings tonight include the Hopkinton Democratic Town Committee (6:30) and School Committee (7).
