Hopkinton Takes a Step Towards a Greener Future: Select Board Approves Draft Zero Emission Vehicle Policy In a closely contested vote, the Hopkinton Select Board has narrowly approved a draft policy aimed at promoting the adoption of zero-emission vehicles in the town. The policy, which is set to be finalized after public feedback, marks a significant move towards reducing the town's carbon footprint and mitigating the effects of climate change. As the demand for electric vehicles continues to rise, Hopkinton is positioning itself to be at the forefront of this shift, potentially benefiting from increased investment in EV infrastructure and reduced air pollution. However, the policy's approval has also sparked concerns among some residents, who argue that the plan may disproportionately affect low-income households and those with limited access to charging stations.
