Hopkinton Today: Wednesday, Oct. 30

by | Oct 30, 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 Climate Action & Building Workgroups of the Sustainable Green Committee on Monday night talked about ways to regulate projects like the proposed gas station at 290 West Main Street in the future.

Residents who spoke during Monday’s Planning Board meeting about the proposed MBTA Communities zoning districts expressed concerns about the options, which are “pitting neighbors against neighbors.”

Next to the Marathon School playground is a new, free community resource called the Little Library — a project by the Hopkinton Special Education Parent Advisory Council to provide resources to residents about disabilities, special education, neurodiversity and mental health.

Ahead of a state divisional meet on an unfamiliar course, HHS girls cross country coach Jean Cann discusses her team’s strong season and hopes of qualifying for all-states.

This week’s Move in Style Athlete Spotlight shines on HHS boys soccer goalkeeper Owen Silva, who recorded 10 shutouts last year and “stands out for his diligence, positive attitude and constant striving to get better.”

This week’s Senior Snippets features information on medication disposal, a workshop about holiday scam awareness and a program about the history of beauty and cosmetics.

Photo of the Day: Members of the Hopkinton Fire Department and the Hopkinton Police Department pose for a photo with employees at Alltown Fresh during an event for National First Responders Day. The event honored local fire and EMS personnel and provided opportunities for community connections.
