by | Feb 15, 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 and video of the day.

A divided Select Board at its Tuesday meeting decided not to sign an intermunicipal agreement to form a regional emergency communication center with Southborough, Westborough and Grafton. The vote was 3-2 against the RECC, with those in opposition stating much more information is needed before they could be convinced this is the right move.

Webelos and Hopkinton youths ages 10 and older who are interested in Scouting are invited to an afternoon of fun and food with Hopkinton BSA Troop 4 boys and Troop 11 girls on Sunday, March 5, from 2-5 p.m. at the YMCA Outdoor Center.

The Hopkinton Public Library and Hopkinton’s Age-Friendly and Dementia-Friendly Community initiative present a special intergenerational screening of “Cycle of Memory” on Saturday, March 18, from 2-4:15 p.m. at the Hopkinton Public Library.

Town meetings tonight include the Commissioners of Trust Funds (6), Housing Authority (6) and Upper Charles Trail Committee (6:30).
