Hopkinton Today: Wednesday, Aug. 21

by | Aug 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.

The Planning Board tackled a packed agenda Monday night, reviewing some revisions to the new Charleswood School project and hearing a complex case for a subdivision off Benson Street that required a revision to a previous Planning Board decision made in 2006.

While August traditionally is a time for summer relaxation, former Hopkinton Select Board chair Muriel Kramer has ramped up her campaign for the District 2 seat on the Massachusetts Governor’s Council, crisscrossing the district as the Sept. 3 primary approaches.

This week’s Senior Snippets includes information on the annual Ice Cream Social, Myths and Miracles of Victorian Medicine, the upcoming Repair Fair and more.

Town meetings tonight include the Housing Authority (6).
