In coordination with Fire prevention month, the Hopkinton Fire Department hosted an open house. The event is to raise awareness for Fire Safety and share information about what the Fire Department does and how you can stay safe.
From the Elementary School Building Committee:
In Boston on Wednesday, September 30, the MSBA Board of Directors voted unanimously to authorize the executive director to enter into a Project Scope and Budget Agreement with Hopkinton, finalizing and making official the numbers that we've been expecting. ESBC Clerk Rob Nickerson has reached out to local press with supplemental information, upcoming ESBC events, and the attached photo. Thanks everyone for staying strong and together to get us this far, a true team effort!
The Town of Hopkinton is encouraging all residents who are interested in participating in the planning efforts for the recently acquired town-owned parcels to submit their applications now.

All are welcome to both parts of the meeting. The ESBC presentation is for voter information. It is not being presented a partisan event. Again, any and all are welcome.
With a warrant article for Special Town Meeting on the calendar for October 26, Hopkinton’s Elementary School Building Committee has created multiple venues to raise awareness of the school building project, and encourage the community to participate in the vote.
“Our goal is to pass this with overwhelming endorsement from a broad crosssection of the community," said ESBC Chairman Joe Markey. "We believe we have crafted a solution that the community will recognize and can embrace."
BOSTON— The Massachusetts Senate today voted in favor of Senate Bill 2014, An Act relative to motor vehicle license suspension, Senator Karen E. Spilka (D-Ashland) announced.
This bill repeals the current law that subjects individuals convicted of a non-violent drug offense to an automatic license suspension for up to five years and a license reinstatement fee of $500, even if the offense does not involve motor vehicles in any way. Thirty-four states, including every other New England state, have already taken action to repeal similar laws.
