Hopkinton Today: Tuesday, Aug. 8

by | Aug 8, 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 state’s Executive Office of Elder Affairs recently released its 17-page corrective action plan for The Communities at Golden Pond, an assisted living facility on West Main Street that failed to meet its compliance requirements in March.

The Hopkinton Fire Department, in collaboration with a generous grant awarded by FM Global, is offering free installation of smoke alarms to Hopkinton residents in need.

Town meetings tonight include the Commissioners of Trust Funds (5:30), Conservation Commission (7) and Cemetery Commission (7).

Photo of the Day: Hopkinton’s Aanya Soni poses with her President’s Environmental Youth Award during her visit to Washington last week. The youngster was honored for starting a wildlife conservation project called Every Turtle Matters in an effort to protect turtles crossing roadways in town.
