Hubbardston Reopening Plan
Town officials this week started the process of opening Hubbardston public spaces. This deliberate plan will balance following federal and state public health guidelines in addition to increasing the amount of resident services available to the Hubbardston public. This is an evolving plan and will closely mirror the state's reopening guidance and timeline. This plan was created in consultation with the Board of Selectmen, Board of Health, Town Administrator, Public Safety Officials, the Library Board of Trustees and the Parks Commission. Please note this applies to Hubbardston public spaces only. Guidelines for business can be found here. Local officials will follow the state regulations as interpreted and enforced by the Board of Health.
