A public forum to gather input for the Open Space and Recreation Plan for the Town of Hopkinton is will be held on Thursday, May 9, 2013 in Room 211 at Hopkinton Town Hall. The plan is being updated, and your input is important. The draft Plan update includes the results of a recent public opinion survey, a revised Action Plan and revised maps.

The 2009 Open Space and Recreation Plan established three goals, which will be reviewed at the Forum to determine whether they should be changed. The goals contained in the 2009 Plan were:

  • Preserve and enhance the Town’s natural resources, in particular, open space, wetlands and wildlife habitat.
  • Provide a balanced recreation program that meets the growing needs of the community.
  • Ensure the protection of water resources.

Also to be developed is the Action Plan Map – which parcels the Town may be interested in acquiring in the future.

The draft Plan update is linked here.
