The Massachusetts Department of Public Health and Hopkinton Health Department encourage residents to utilize EPA approved mosquito repellents and avoid being outdoors during peak mosquito activity at dusk and dawn.

Working with the Town’s partners at Eversource, I am pleased to announce that 6 transformers will be arriving in Hopkinton this week for the Main Street Corridor Project. They have been tested and are ready to be installed. The remaining 6 transformers will be arriving within the next few weeks. This is great news for the Project, where the lack of transformers has caused project delays. We look forward to the transformer’s installation, which will enable the team to bring the project to completion.
