Hopkinton Today: Tuesday, May 21

by | May 21, 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.

Native Hopkintonian Joe Clark and former Select Board chair Brian Herr cruised to unofficial victory in Monday’s Annual Town Election, easily besting contenders Kyla McSweeney and Peter Mimmo for the two open seats on the Select Board. The most discussed of the eight ballot questions was Question 3, which asked if residents would support an addition/renovation project at Hopkins Elementary School, designed to help alleviate overcrowding. The vote was 1,354 in favor and 1,243 opposed, with some ballots yet to be counted.

This week’s Real Estate Transactions list shows six sales, including a property on Greenwood road for $1.6 million.

Our latest Professional Insights from Edward Jones financial advisor Mark Freeman asks if estate plans should be equal or fair?

Town meetings today include the Hopkins Lower Middle School Project (1 p.m.), Board of Health (5:30 p.m.), Select Board (6 p.m.), Conservation Commission (7 p.m.) and Cultural Council (7 p.m.).
