Letter to the Editor: When will Town Common trees be planted?

by | Jul 18, 2022 | Letter to Editor

When will replacement shade trees be planted on the Common? Many trees have been taken down in the last few years and no shade trees have been planted. Is there any plan for tree planting on the Common?

— Beth and Rick Kelly, Hopkinton
