COVID-19 Update - 1/11/21

Town Officials closed the Hubbardston Senior Center effective immediately. This is in response to an employee contracting COVID-19 and the potential risk to our senior population. This closure will be reevaluated on January 25, 2021. In response to the known case, Town Officials are sanitizing all public offices and reminding visitors that only residents with necessary appointments will be allowed into the town offices. This unfortunate policy exists to protect our employees and continued town services to include public safety. The Board of Selectmen will discuss with the Board of Health this evening whether a full closure of the town offices is necessary.
