Hopkinton Planning Board Appoints Representative to Economic Development Advisory Board
- Meeting Overview:
In its recent meeting, the Hopkinton Planning Board appointed Parker Hap as its representative to the newly established Economic Development Advisory Board, with a term expiring on June 30, 2026. The board also discussed the continuation of a public hearing for a project on West Main Street and reviewed feedback on meeting minutes.
The most notable agenda item was the appointment of a representative to the Economic Development Advisory Board, a body created by a town vote in May to explore avenues for increasing the town’s commercial tax revenue. Parker Hap expressed his interest in joining the board, emphasizing the need to plan for potential disruptions due to the winding down of Dell’s operations on South Street. The board unanimously voted to appoint Hap, and there was a consensus on the importance of the new board’s mission to potentially alter the town’s economic outlook.
The meeting also addressed the continuation of the public hearing concerning a minor site plan for a property on West Main Street. The hearing was rescheduled for July 21, 2025. There were discussions around whether the project would go before the Conservation Commission before the next planning board meeting, but no specific details were confirmed.
Additionally, the board reviewed and approved the minutes from past meetings, incorporating feedback and changes suggested by board members. These changes primarily involved clarifications and additional details to ensure accurate documentation of the board’s discussions and decisions.
