The proposed new building to replace Elmwood School passed at Special Town Meeting on Monday night by a  622-241 vote, more than the two-thirds of votes required for passage. Article 2 passed 245-214, meaning local election ballots no longer will include political affiliation and preliminary election caucuses will be eliminated.

Applications are being accepted for the home heating fuel assistance program through South Middlesex Opportunity Council (SMOC). The program runs from Nov. 1 to April 30 and is available to all households in Hopkinton if the total household income falls within certain guidelines.
