Summary
Hopkinton allocated remaining ARPA funds for local projects: $3,000 to Outlaw Saloon for broadband, $1,200 for a library AED, $500 for a door closure, and $2,800 for Town Barn security doors; the broadband allocation passed with one abstention.
With the ARPA spending deadline approaching, the Hopkinton Town Board approved several targeted allocations at the Dec. 16 meeting. Supervisor Wood moved to provide $3,000 to the Outlaw Saloon toward obtaining broadband services; the motion passed with four ayes and one abstention (Councilperson French). The board also approved $500 to purchase a Town Hall door closure, $1,200 to purchase an AED for the library, and $2,800 to install front entry security doors for the Town Barn.
An ARPA Abstract purchase of shelving and storage bins for $601.30 was also discussed and approved as part of ARPA Abstract 12. Board members emphasized the year‑end requirement that remaining ARPA funds be designated before the end of 2024.
