With the Elementary School Building Committee set to hold their next community workshop on Saturday, January 24th, the committee has released the eleven site alternatives for the Center School Feasibility Study.
In a notice released on Hopkinton's SchoolWires, the ESBC announced the site alternatives, including:
● Center School: Options including renovation, addition, and new construction, and depicted with and without abutting privately-owned property at 25 Ash Street.
● Elmwood School: Options include construction of a new Pre-K-1st grade building, next to the existing Elmwood School (which would continue to serve 2nd and 3rd grade).
● Irvine Property: Options include North and South-specific construction on 20+ acres located on Hayden Rowe, just South of Hopkinton Parks and Recreation land at EMC Park.
● Todaro Property: 20+ acres, with access from 147 Hayden Rowe, abutting the Irvine property to the North, adjacent to Water Fresh Farm and abutting 5 acres of town owned property on the South.
The full matrix of possible site options was revealed to the committee in their December 22nd meeting; to see this meeting in its entirety, click here or visit the "government" tab under "programs" on HCAM's website.
