Legacy Farms and Hockey Rink Update - Public Hearing Nov. 17

The Hopkinton Parks and Recreation Commission will hold a Public Hearing on Thursday, November 17 at 7:00 PM in the Town Hall, 2nd Floor, 18 Main Street, to hear all persons interested in the use of the 19 acre parcel of land given by Legacy Farms for community use. Demons Youth Hockey made a proposal to the town in April 2011 to build a hockey rink off East Main Street on the Legacy Farms property if the town would grant a 30-year lease to the Demons for $1. Demons would conduct fundraising to build the arena. Read the proposal at http://www.hopkinton.org/pdf/HockeyIceArena.pdf.
