Matt Zettek announced today he will not be seeking re-election to the Hopkinton Board of Selectmen.  Zettek cited family and professional considerations as the primary reasons for his decision.  He is the second generation of Zetteks to serve in town as his parents were involved for years on numerous committees and boards.

Zettek said, “I have appreciated both the faith voters placed in me three years ago and the opportunity to work with many volunteers and professional staff dedicated to the Town“.  “For reasons far beyond the control of any of us here in Hopkinton, it has been a challenging time to serve in the public sector”, said Zettek.  He added, “We have been taking a one town approach to local government and, considering the circumstances, a note of thanks is due to the many folks involved in moving forward together”.

Zettek mentioned that primary focuses of the Board of Selectmen achieved during the past few years include maintaining services in a fiscally sound manner, implementing the Town Charter passed in 2006 and hiring new fire and police chiefs, along with Town Manager Norman Khumalo.  Zettek said, “I have appreciated working in a civil and productive fashion with my current and past colleagues on the Board of Selectmen, along with the Town Manager and staff.” 

“Overall, the sense of community is alive and well and the future of the town looks bright.” he added.
