Hopkinton Today: Wednesday, Oct. 4

by | Oct 4, 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 of the day.

The Planning Board at its meeting Monday night granted an extension of time for the donation of open space at a 12-unit subdivision on Whisper Way in a 7-0 vote after a procedural error hampered the process. Five additional acres also will be donated to the town that will allow for trail connectivity.

The Commission on Disability at its meeting Monday night made progress on the creation of a town survey and event accessibility checklist to increase community awareness about the need for venues and documents to be accessible to people with disabilities.

The Hopkinton Fire Department Open House is Sunday, Oct. 15. Residents — including children — will have the opportunity to view demonstrations, learn about fire safety and tour the station.

This week’s Real Estate Transactions list shows eight sales in town.

Town meetings today include the Council on Aging (1 p.m.).
