The Hopedale Select Board will soon offer an opportunity for residents to meet individually with a member of the board. 

The idea was raised by Selectman Louis Arcudi III at a June meeting after learning about a similar program in another town. 

“I actually think it would be good for us to do that,” Arcudi said, noting the board would seek advice from town counsel. 

At its meeting on July 12, the board agreed the initiative would start with Arcudi in September, followed by Chairman Brian Keyes in October, and likely Glenda Hazard in November (she was not in attendance when the schedule was created). 

Keyes advised residents to watch the Bulletin for dates, times, and details.
