Hopkinton Annual Town Meeting Begins Tonight, Special Meeting Tuesday

By MyFM’s Claire Beverly – It’s a packed 52-article warrant for Hopkinton’s Annual Town Meeting which starts tonight and will most likely span two nights. And there’s also a Special Town Meeting set for Tuesday night. Possible contentious items for the Annual Town Meeting include zoning changes to comply with the state’s MBTA Communities Act to encourage multifamily housing. The Tuesday Special Town Meeting has a vote on reinstating a police sergeant fired for not reporting a sexual assault of a high school student by another officer at the victim’s request to keep it quiet. Both meetings are at Hopkinton Middle School.
