Lisa Volpe Hachey and Teresa Boyce celebrate 15 years of business in Hopkinton, and extend their gratitude to the community for supporting them through all the ups and downs.
On April 14, 2023, leaders from the Hopkinton Chamber of Commerce hosted an event at Project Just Because to commemorate the grand opening of their new facility. The Hopkinton-based food bank serves more than 800 families per week with food, clothing and essential items.
Hopkinton's upcoming election will significantly impact its Select Board with the voting in of two new members followed by a restructuring to elect a new chairperson and vice-chair. While every member holds equal voting power, the chair bears more responsibilities, including agenda setting with the Town Manager and generally serving as the board's spokesperson. Current Vice Chair Shahidul Mannan seeks the chairmanship, supported largely by party loyalists. Outcomes heavily depend on election results, with different scenarios predicting either Mannan or former chair Bryan Herr could prevail, influenced by the loyalties and previous actions of the board members.
